What's new?
My dad William Allen has recently retired. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1954 and enjoyed over 56 years of a successful law practice, beginning in a firm with his father, Jack Allen and his brother John Allen (John later became a Provincial Court Judge in Orangeville), which later became “Allen & Allen”. My grandfather Jack Allen started as a lawyer in the 1920s in Haileybury, Northern Ontario. After Jack retired, dad joined Lang Michener for about seventeen years and then, at age 57, decided to start his own firm in 1985. I joined dad’s firm in 1992 and eventually it became Allen & Allen all over again. Although dad has retired, I’m hoping that another generation may join me some day. Stay tuned.

Also, Stephen Wilks, Barrister and Solicitor, and Suzanne Johnson, Barrister and Solicitor, will be working from our suite of offices. Stephen is an experienced Barrister, part-time professor at Humber College and, like me, working on his PhD in business law.

Welcome aboard!

Why would a sane lawyer, with a busy practice, do a PhD in law at the same time?

Welcome to John Allen’s blog. I’ll use this little soapbox to let you know what’s up and where I think things may be headed.
Big changes at our office. Paul Doucette, my former law partner and continuing friend, has joined a small firm in Ajax, Ontario, much closer to his home in Pickering. We stay in touch and I hope he continues to do well.
