About MFC Lawyers
MFC Lawyers: family law and litigation in Southern Ontario
MFC Lawyers is a law firm based in Guelph, Ontario, with a second office in Milton. Its practice focuses on family law, civil litigation, and dispute resolution, complemented by wills and estates services and unbundled legal services. The firm serves clients throughout Southern Ontario.
Practice Areas
Family Law
The team handles complex family matters through alternative dispute resolution methods. The strategy combines negotiation, mediation, and arbitration to advocate for clients' rights. Matters handled include custody and parenting disputes, child and spousal support, division of assets, divorce, and separation agreements.
Litigation
The firm appears at various court levels, including the Ontario Superior Court and the Court of Appeal. Its litigators provide expert guidance and strategic advice to those with matters before the courts.
Dispute Resolution
MFC Lawyers has experience resolving conflicts without going to court, through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. According to the firm, these methods reduce legal fees and give clients greater control over the consequences of their matter.

- Civil Litigation: contract disputes, business relationships, financial claims, and other legal disputes, with a focus on practical resolution and strong advocacy.
