About Paroian Skipper Lawyers

Paroian Skipper Lawyers is a small commercial law firm in Windsor, Ontario. It's been in its current form since 2006, when J. Mark Skipper joined forces with longtime Windsor litigator Leon Paroian, Q.C., who'd spent decades as the founding partner of Paroian Raphael Courey Cohen & Houston before that. Paroian was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1975 and received the Law Society Medal in 2006, the year the renamed firm took shape. Paroian died in 2008, and the Paroian Skipper name has continued since, now with two lawyers at the practice.

Today the firm pairs Skipper's corporate law practice, built over decades acting for financial institutions, private companies, family businesses and land developers, with litigator Owen Thomas's civil litigation work. Thomas joined the firm after eight years as an associate at Raphael Partners, from 2000 to 2008, and was called to the Ontario bar in 1997. Thomas's trial experience spans corporate and commercial disputes, estates and wills, bankruptcy and insolvency, real estate and mortgages, construction liens, and class actions, with appearances up to the Supreme Court of Canada. The firm bills by the hour, structuring work so a file can go to whichever lawyer or clerk it calls for.
