About watlaw.com
Oldfield, Greaves, D'Agostino & Scriven is a small Waterloo law practice built around civil litigation, with wills and estate planning and employment law alongside it. The firm has served Kitchener-Waterloo since 1984, and the partner who runs it, Ed D'Agostino, has practised law since 1992. Its litigation centres on commercial disputes, including construction liens, shareholder disputes, contracts, real estate, and collection matters, and it extends into personal injury, insolvency, product liability, and estate litigation. The practice takes cases before all levels of court in Ontario and has handled civil jury trials, which call for their own particular skill set.
On the estates side, the work covers wills, powers of attorney, and estate planning, with a focus on complex estates that involve businesses or farms, and it's built to fit alongside a client's accountant and other advisers. The employment practice acts for both employees and employers, from drafting contracts and workplace policies to advancing reasonable notice claims and defending human rights complaints. On corporate and commercial files, the firm works closely with McCarter Grespan Beynon Weir LLP, a Waterloo corporate and commercial law firm. Before law, D'Agostino's background was in chemistry and industry.

By appointmentWho handles what
The neighbourhood
The practice works from Edenwood Place, a quiet residential court in the southwest of Waterloo, rather than a downtown tower. That setting suits the work. Civil litigation here runs region-wide and moves through all levels of court in Ontario, so a file follows the case to the courtroom instead of depending on walk-in traffic at the door. For corporate and commercial matters the firm coordinates with a Waterloo corporate and commercial law firm, which keeps a downtown connection close at hand.
The estate side reaches past simple wills. It handles planning for complex estates that involve businesses or farms, which fits a region where family enterprises and working farmland in the surrounding townships sit close to the tech and university core of the twin cities.
