About Altwerger Law Professional Corporation
Altwerger Law Professional Corporation is a small law firm based in Keswick, Ontario, a community within the Town of Georgina on the shore of Lake Simcoe. The firm operates out of an office at 187 Simcoe Avenue and keeps a separate phone line for clients calling from Toronto.
The firm's practice is organized around three areas: real estate (purchases, sales, refinances and leases), corporate and business law (incorporations, share purchases, bulk sales, and shareholder and partnership agreements), and estate planning (wills, powers of attorney and the administration of estates). It's a compact practice run by two lawyers, Stephen Altwerger, Q.C., and Mark Altwerger, who work across all three areas rather than splitting into separate departments.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Keswick sits on Lake Simcoe's Cook's Bay, about 72 kilometres north of Toronto, inside the Town of Georgina. It was mostly cottage country for much of the twentieth century before growing quickly from the late 1980s onward, and the extension of Highway 404 has kept that growth going by making the commute to Newmarket and Toronto easier. That kind of steady household turnover means a lot of home purchases, sales and refinances, which lines up with the real estate work the firm does out of its Simcoe Avenue office.
