About Schmidt Law Office
Schmidt Law Office Professional Corporation is a general practice firm in Uptown Waterloo that's been operating for more than 36 years. It's led by principal Michael J. Schmidt, who holds a B.A. from the University of Waterloo and an LL.B. from the University of Ottawa and is a lifelong resident of Kitchener-Waterloo. The work spans a few connected areas. Corporate and business law, real estate, and wills and estates make up the core, and the firm also acts as a notary public.
On the corporate side it handles incorporations, franchise sales and purchases, business acquisitions, shareholder and partnership agreements, and commercial leasing, and over a period of twenty years it has represented parties on commercial transactions. Its stated client history runs from major banks and trucking and freight companies to businesses large and small, including what the firm describes as one of Canada's largest independent advertising and marketing companies. The practice and its principal have also been referenced over the years in publications such as Maclean's, the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, All Canada Weekly Law Reports, and Ontario Lawyers Weekly. Notary work rounds things out, from statutory declarations and affidavits to passport documentation and consent letters for children travelling abroad.

The neighbourhood
The office sits on the ninth floor of the Marsland Centre, a thirteen-storey tower at 20 Erb Street West in the heart of Uptown Waterloo. It's a business address by design. The building is anchored by BMO Financial Group and fills the rest of its floors with financial, advisory, and technology tenants, which fits a practice built around corporate deals and commercial real estate. The corner of King and Erb is a block away, and the Waterloo Public Library and Waterloo Town Square are both a short walk off. Clients get free reserved parking under the firm's own signage, to the right of the building near the corner of Albert and Dupont Streets.
