Engaging legal counsel shouldn’t be intimidating.
We're here to help.

SullivanLaw was founded with a simple mandate: To provide smart, candid, appropriate and thoughtful legal services that help our clients get the results that best meet their needs.

Our approach often means avoiding court in favour of negotiated resolutions to problems. But when a negotiated agreement is not possible, we do not hesitate to argue our clients’ position in court.

"In any case, keep cool. Have unlimited patience. Never corner an opponent, and always assist him to save his face. Put yourself in his shoes—so as to see things through his eyes. Avoid self-righteousness like the devil—nothing is so self-blinding."
- Basil Henry Liddell Hart

"In everything, counsel's conduct should be characterized by conviction, conscientiousness, directness and respectful firmness. They should state their proposition or objection clearly; they should support it by reason or authority; they should state it once and be done with it, and win by its cogency, or fail, as the case may be. An argument is weak in proportion as it requires iteration."
- Mr. Justice Houghton Lennox (1915)

Gaganpreet Kaur, Articling Student

We are pleased to have Gagan with us on her road to becoming a lawyer in Ontario

Gaganpreet obtained her law degree in India where she practiced for two years before taking the bold move of coming to Canada. In India, Gagan appeared before the District Court of Ludhiana, worked on cases before the High Court of Panjab & Haryana and bail appearances. Gagan has experience with Wills and labour court complaints and Consumer Court.  In Canada, she assisted SullivanLaw with client intake, legal research and drafting and family court forms, to name a few tasks.

She holds a Certificate of Qualification from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada and is currently completing her licensing requirements to become a lawyer in Ontario.

Fluent in English, Hindi and Punjabi, with intermediate proficiency in French, Gaganpreet effectively communicates with diverse clients. Her commitment to excellence and her strong analytical skills make her a valuable member of the firm and will be a dedicated advocate and counsel to clients.

In what off-time she has, she likes to stay active at the gym, reads and has skated on the Rideau Canal.

“My goal as a lawyer is to ensure my clients have the information and the counsel they need to achieve the outcomes they want. Some might characterize this as talking too much. But to me, a well-informed client is a successful client.
