More about us

Working as a team with a single goal

Ritch Durnford works as a team in the interests of our clients.

We recognize that our personnel's unique backgrounds and experiences result in individual strengths. We also recognize that our clients' legal matters can't be tackled via a template approach. As such, Ritch Durnford allocates work to best utilize our strengths and to achieve the most cost-effective solution to a problem.

Ritch Durnford clients not only know the partners and associates handling their files, they trust them. But the team extends far beyond the faces on the front line. Our personnel also includes support staff, articled clerks and legal analysts who understand clients' needs and how to best serve them.

The Ritch Durnford team extends beyond our people. We have an extensive library and our technological hardware is the backbone for our computer assisted research and litigation support software. We've also built up an impressive database of precedents and legal opinion to further support and assist in all areas of our practice. Once again, our clients are the main beneficiaries of our resources.

Our scope extends beyond our work for clients, however. Ritch Durnford has always stressed professional development for the benefit of the legal community and the community at large. Our lawyers are extremely active members of professional and volunteer organizations across the province. Some are teachers, lecturers and seminar leaders. Many have published articles in leading journals and regularly speak at conferences and seminars. It's a further indication of the current of commitment and leadership that runs through the firm.

Our approach at Ritch Durnford is both innovative and proactive. It's an approach that works for us because it works for our clients.
