Services
A Licence is a right to enter upon and use someone's land in a certain manner or for a specific purpose. In the municipal context some examples might be a Licence to hang a sign over a street, place a sandwich board on a sidewalk, use an outdoor patio for a restaurant, or build a driveway on an unopened road allowance.
Our firm has a longstanding history in Orillia, Ontario, tracing its origins to Marshall Russell established in 1960. We have seen a lot of growth since that time, but one thing that has not changed is our pursuit of excellence in providing legal services to our clients in a timely, cost effective and "down to earth" manner.
