McTague Law Firm LLP

About McTague Law Firm LLP

McTague Law Firm LLP is a full service law firm in downtown Windsor, Ontario, with roots that go back to 1920. Founder Charles P. McTague opened the firm with partners James H. Clark, Lorne Cumming and Armand Racine, then left active practice after an appointment to the Supreme Court of Ontario in 1935. The next stop was the Court of Appeal for Ontario, a post held until retiring in 1944. In 1967 the firm merged with Whiteside, Coughlin & Whiteside, a Windsor firm founded by John Rodd and Ernest Wigle, and it's carried a joint history ever since.

The firm's partners built its current office at 455 Pelissier Street in 1981, buying the land and putting up the building themselves in the middle of a recession, and McTague still works out of that downtown Windsor address. Today the practice covers business and corporate law, civil and commercial litigation, employment and labour law, estates and trusts, commercial real estate and privacy law, acting for individuals, corporations, financial institutions and not for profit organizations. The firm typically takes on one or two articling students a year, training them alongside lawyers across those practice groups.
