Overview

Wallace Smith Lawyers is a boutique law firm located in London, Ontario. Our practice focuses on civil litigation, with an emphasis on personal injury, insurance, and employment law. By concentrating on these areas, we are able to provide practical and well-considered representation that reflects the legal and personal challenges our clients are facing.

We are intentionally not a high-volume practice and do not approach matters with a one-size-fits-all mindset. Our work is built on direct communication, straightforward advice, and strategies developed around each client’s specific circumstances. We represent both individuals and institutions, which allows us to understand how disputes arise and progress from more than one perspective.

Our lawyers and staff bring practical experience, sound judgment, and a collaborative approach to every file. Matters are handled with care and attention, supported by shared knowledge and resources across the firm. As the needs of our community have changed, we expanded our services to include employment law, responding to increased demand for balanced and informed representation in the workplace context.

We continue to operate as a boutique firm—focused, accessible, and committed to careful, thorough legal work. We take our responsibilities to clients seriously while maintaining a professional, approachable, and respectful working environment.

After more than a decade of practice at larger firms, in 2008, Doug Wallace and Brian Smith founded Wallace Smith LLP. Their goal was to build a client-focused firm that approached legal work in a practical and personal manner. Since that time, the firm has grown steadily while continuing to provide the accessibility and individual attention that clients have valued from the outset.
