While the Ontario Government has confirmed that professional and social services that support the legal and justice system are essential, Lancaster, Brooks & Welch has determined that it is our social responsibility to close our physical offices effective March 24, 2020 for a period of 14 days during which we will continue to work remotely.
Our priority is to continue to respond to client needs while safeguarding the health and safety of our team and our community.
