My name is Michelle R. Theberge; I am a lawyer and a member of the Law Society of Ontario. I was called to the bar in 2005 and have practiced law in Toronto for over a decade. I moved to London, Ontario, with my family in 2014 and have been serving clients in the London region since that time. Theberge Professional Corporation is capable of meeting all the legal needs of small-to-medium size businesses, individuals and estates. My law practice areas include corporate law / business law, employment law and litigation. Read on.

I also practice family law and have significant experience in family law matters involving business interests.

Employment Law, Disputes, Wrongful Dismissals and Human Rights Complaints

Over the course of my practice, I have assisted both employers and employees to properly define their relationships, maintain their relationships and resolve disputes including wrongful dismissals and other human rights complaints. Read on.

Litigation

There are situations where aggressive advocacy is required and I am more than willing to go to court when necessary. As an experienced litigator, I have successfully represented numerous clients in the Superior Court of Justice, the B.C. Supreme Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal. Read on.

About

Having been a business owner prior to obtaining my law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, I understand how disputes can affect profitability and I work hard to ensure that your exposure is as minimal as possible. I have experienced first hand how overly adversarial litigators run up legal costs to the detriment of their clients. I believe I balance the rare skill of being ready to fight for my clients in court while always trying to obtain the most cost effective solution possible. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, playing hockey and snowboarding. Read on.
