Born in Perth, Ontario, our founder, David McLean attended Perth & District High School. After attending PDCI, David completed his Honours B.A. at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, followed by his law degree at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Armed with the noble intention of attending law school and then pursuing his dream of becoming Prime Minister of Canada, David quickly realized that practising law and building a law firm capable of assisting everyday folks with their legal needs was just as worthy. Before setting up the firm, David articled at a business law firm in Ottawa and worked for Octagon, a sports agency headquartered in McLean, Virginia.

Setting out on his own in December 2004, David focused on building a client centric firm that strived to assist clients with their everyday legal needs. Some of these needs included buying a home; drafting a Will; or setting up a business structure. And although most traditional law firms created a one stop shop on Main Street, David developed a mobile practice, in addition to his customary office space, to serve clients in their homes or place of work. Over the years, David has continued to serve the legal needs of individuals from all over Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. His passion for people and helping is evident in his practice and resulted in many life-long friendships with clients throughout Ottawa.

After wife and family, David has a real passion for all things sports, especially hockey. He now spends much of his time outside of practising law, travelling around the country attending his children’s hockey games.
