It all started with two brothers and one simple truth.
In 1929, Mayer and Sam Lerner opened their law firm and faithfully applied the philosophy that "no matter who our clients are, each and every one deserves the best representation possible." Today, over 80 years later, this simple truth is still at the heart of our values.
Two distinct offices... one impressive firm.
Lerners LLP has grown to become one of Ontario's largest firms with offices in London and Toronto. In 2011, we were ranked 4th on Canadian Lawyer magazine's Top 10 Regional Firms in Ontario.
The original Lerners office, in London, has always been a full-service shop. The largest of its kind in southwestern Ontario, it offers outstanding skill and vast experience in a variety of practice areas under one roof.
The Toronto office, opened in 1987, focuses on litigation and is now one of the city’s largest litigation boutiques. In fact, the Toronto arm of the firm has been identified by Canadian Lawyer magazine as one of Canada’s Top 10 Litigation Boutiques in both their 2010 and 2012 ranking.
While each office possesses its own unique strengths, we work closely together for the benefit of all our clients. In total, over 100 highly skilled and experienced lawyers, with the help of more than 200 dedicated support staff, share expertise and resources to deliver exceptional client service.
Experience is important,
but it's how you put your experience into practice that really matters.
There is no shortage of experience available today. There are plenty of lawyers who can, quite rightly, describe themselves as being experienced, tough, tenacious and uncompromising.
But if we've learned anything in more than 80 years of successful client service and representation, it's that experience will only take you so far towards building trust and rapport with a client. Our fundamental obligation is to first listen and understand. Only after we've done that can we apply our experience to your advantage.
Here's what you can expect if you choose Lerners:
We will listen until you are sure we've heard you.
We will explain all your options until you say you understand them.
We will do everything we say we will do.
We will not waste your time or your money.
Recommended, referred, consulted and recognized
as one of Ontario's top firms.
We are one of the most consistently recommended and selected firms in Ontario. Long-term clients, as well as their trusted business advisors, refer their colleagues and friends to us without reservation.
Other lawyers regularly seek our counsel in specialized areas of expertise where we excel because they know they can trust us to be thoroughly professional and respectful of their client relationships. As well, other lawyers will retain our lawyers to argue their cases at both the trial and appeal levels.
Our trial lawyers have argued appeals in the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Clients represented by Lerners have been awarded some of the largest personal injury judgments in Canada.
Lerners lawyers are repeatedly listed in Canadian professional directories, such as Lexpert and The Best Lawyers in Canada, as leaders in their practice areas. Inclusion in these prestigious publications is based solely on the vote of peers.
Use our experience to your advantage.
At Lerners, you can always find a lawyer with the professionalism and expertise you require. Someone who is committed to you, your best interests and achieving the outcome you seek. We'd be honoured to put our experience to work on your behalf.
