Derek advises clients on residential and commercial real estate, wills and estates, and corporate law, delivering practical, client-focused guidance tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.
Born and raised in Carleton Place, Derek brings local insight and broad legal experience to their practice.

After completing his articles, Derek and his wife returned to Almonte to build their family and careers, with a shared commitment to serving the community they value deeply.
