Our formula for success in managing business disputes is simple. First, we combine our best innovative and experienced lawyers to create the right team for each situation. Then, the team concentrates on identifying our clients' needs. And finally, we apply common sense, creativity and fierce advocacy to reach the best possible outcome.
In 1929, Mayer Lerner opened the doors to his law firm. Joined by his brother Sam in 1939, they faithfully applied the philosophy that "no matter who our clients are, each and every one deserves the best representation possible." Today, 90 years later, this simple truth is still at the heart of our values.
Lerners lawyers have a reputation as experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, and tenacious advocates for our clients, both in courtroom litigation and private commercial arbitration. With an approach rooted in creative strategy and pragmatism, getting a satisfactory resolution for our clients, in whatever form that takes, is our priority.
The Lerners business law group offers a depth of experience and range of expertise few other firms can match. As one of Southwestern Ontario's largest firms, we've handled some of the region's biggest and most complex business transactions.

Lucas Lung and Jameel Madhanny deserve 5 stars but due to office politics overseen by senior partners they refused to proceed further by telling me that I could not succeed vs the goliath firm of Mills & Mills. Lucas did however warn Mr David Lees at Mills that I would be unrepresented and become a nightmare. Long story short from my US military training (the shadow of death is the one that I cast). I won my case with costs and all these lawyers now look like "LES INCOMPETENTS" (french) in front of the courts.

If I could give a zero I would.
I undertook mediation and arbitration with a lawyer in this firm. There were many personal opinions shared with me that were not based on fact and despite rampant physical, financial and emotional abuse my ex husband was allowed to not produce disclosure. Basically 10k in with zero back. Please be prepared to wait for every religious holiday under the sun. A complete waste of time .

Awful.
My situation was an employment issue.
I feel that we have a moral obligation to let others know what this firm is all about.
They only care about billings. You have to keep on top of them to move things along. Missed deadlines, no clue what was going on, not even sure if there was a real strategy in place.
They are non responsive and do not seem to care about much of anything. Staff is equally as incompetent.

I am stuck with this firm on an employment matter but feel obligated to reach out to anyone having to hire a lawyer.
Do your research thoroughly.
This firm is only interested in the easy money up front and will ignore your requests for next steps and status updates. Non- responsive and do not have your interests at heart. You have to keep on top of things and press to move things forward.
Overall poor experence and quality of work is poor
They will drag the case out for years with no explanation.
Go with a more reputable firm.

As a Realtor it's often part of my responsibility to refer my clients to a knowledgeable lawyer to review and finalize the Real Estate Transaction, both purchase and sales. I've partnered with Nick Cummings on about 10+ deals in 2019 and he's handled them all with care, knowledge, extreme expertise and clarity. Clients are always thrilled with his communication and assistance. Will continue referring business your way Nick!

Not impressed at all. Very poor communication on their end all the way through. Never knew what was going on, what they had, what they needed from me, or what exactly they were doing for two years. It was almost like having no lawyer at all. Worse, in fact. Then, when the case got difficult, they quit! Very unprofessional. Don't believe their marketing. They market themselves as trailblazers, making new law. What a joke.
