Our lawyers are regularly involved in some of the most complex and sophisticated legal transactions. The lawyers of Templeman Menninga LLP are recognized experts in their various specialty practice areas.

The firm as it appears today started with very modest roots, having formed as a result of a merger between two small firms in the City of Belleville in 1981. Many of the traditions of client service remain today. The firm focused its efforts on providing cost-effective and competent service for mainly individuals in the surrounding geographic area. Quickly the firm's dedication to providing quality legal results began to attract the interest of institutional clients and businesses who continued to demand the same type of cost effective, responsive and personalized service. The quality of the firm's legal work started to attract talented legal professionals who shared the firm's vision for providing top notch legal services and the delivery of effective legal results on a cost effective and efficient basis.

Early on the litigation lawyers of Templeman Menninga LLP earned a reputation for being strong advocates, particularly in the areas of municipal law and insurance defence. In addition, the firm gained an outstanding reputation for delivering specialized legal services in the area of corporate and commercial and management side labour and employment law throughout Central and Eastern Ontario. In the late 1990's, as a result of the continuing demand by clients for services throughout the region, the firm opened its Kingston office. Shortly after, the firm added an office in Whitby to service the demands of clients in the greater Toronto area.

Today, Templeman Menninga LLP is a well-regarded full-service law firm serving clients throughout Ontario. The clients of the firm include not only individuals, but some of Canada's most recognizable corporations, including municipalities throughout the Province and many of Canada's largest insurance companies. The legal services demanded by these clients have required top legal talent. Our lawyers come from a variety of backgrounds, from those who joined the firm as articling students to those who have worked in large Bay Street firms, completed clerkships at the Ontario Court of Appeal and from industry. The lawyers of Templeman Menninga LLP share a common vision of maintaining the firm's complete dedication to client service and cost-effective results while providing superior legal results.

Templeman Menninga LLP continues to grow in a strategic manner to meet the growing needs of our clients.
