Here for You
To better meet our client needs, on July 4th, 2022, we announced the expansion of our business, real estate and litigation practice in Guelph, Ontario, with the addition of four talented partners and their team of dedicated staff. Since that time, our Guelph office has expanded further and now has nine lawyers including Personal Injury and Disability Law, Family Law, and Wills and Estates.

Here for Our Community
We are here for our community. Our lawyers and staff show up, engage fully and often, and give generously to causes that help to make Southwestern Ontario a better place to live, raise families, and conduct business.
The founding partner of the firm, Angus McKenzie, bestowed a legacy of community support and caring. As a tireless fundraiser and supporter of numerous local charities, Angus passed on his passion for community service. Today, McKenzie Lake continues to encourage and embrace charitable and volunteer activities, including the provision of pro bono professional services.
Giving back to the community remains a cornerstone of our firm. We are proud to support Joan’s Place, an initiative of Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU), which will provide housing and integrated services to at-risk youth in downtown London. We’ve also made a significant contribution to the Ronald McDonald House, which provides a home-away-from-home in the Children’s Hospital.
At McKenzie Lake, we work to give our clients insightful analysis and every advantage possible. Advantage. Created.
