Gowling WLG

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the privilege of being represented by Mr. James Buchan and cannot speak highly enough of both him and his firm. When I found myself facing a legal challenge, I didn’t know where to turn—until I connected with Mr. Buchan. His professionalism goes far beyond legal expertise. He communicates with genuine care, listens attentively, and acts with honesty and integrity. I always felt heard, supported, and confident that I was in the best hands possible. Thanks to his dedication and commitment, I was able to reach a fair and mutually agreeable settlement. His support has left a lasting impact on me and my family. This is a law firm that truly cares—not just about cases, but about people. I’m deeply grateful. — Jenna Davis

The billing is out of control. You just get a big fat bill at the end. And then Gowlings starts to litigate against their own customers. Make sure you stay on top of that. Escalate the issue to law society asap when you notice. Make sure you defend bills hard. This firm has very bad reputation for aggressive billing. The management here is pushing lawyers hard to get billable hrs sky high. This firm does not believe in delivering results; the main focus is to squeeze dollars especially from unsuspecting smaller businesses and startup type of operations..

⭐☆☆☆☆

Gowlings has stolen $5.3M USD out of escrow and is refusing to give it back. Gowlings can not be trusted. Partners pretend to be your friends and lie and manipulate the system to steal money.

Despicable. I'd like to think that even a lawyer has a shred of decency would exercise some sort of more judgement over the companies whose money they're willing to take. But not Gowling. They have been vigorously defending Ontario Energy Group (OEG) against the claims of hapless homeowners. It's sad really that a firm of this stature would do this.
