Leaders in litigation
Williams McEnery has represented clients in more than 275 court trials and appeals. Our team of eight seasoned lawyers has the confidence and expertise to tackle the most complex, challenging cases—and to take on risk when other lawyers won’t. That team is led by Eric Williams, one of the country’s top-ranked legal professionals. With more than 165 trials and appeals and over 90 reported cases to his name, Eric was voted among the best lawyers in Canada for a number of years and was chosen to be a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

Rooted in relationships
Williams McEnery offers the full range of real estate, estate and corporate legal services. More than 80 percent of our business in these areas comes from repeat clients—a direct result of the personal approach Paul McEnery brings to every engagement. Recognized for his expertise and experience, Paul is a lecturer with the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law and delivers seminars to groups of federal government employees.
