At WARDS LAWYERS PC, we believe that being a great law firm means more than delivering exceptional legal services – it also means being an active, contributing member of our community. For over 20 years, we’ve built our practice not only around legal excellence, but around a deep connection to the people, families, and organizations that make Kawartha Lakes such a vibrant place to live and work.
Law Firm, Local Roots
From the beginning, we’ve been proud to call Lindsay and the surrounding area our home. Many of our lawyers and team members grew up here, raised their families here, and have strong ties to local schools, sports leagues, and community groups. That local perspective informs everything we do – from the way we connect with clients to the causes we support.
We believe our clients are also our neighbours, and that makes our work personal. Whether we’re helping a family through a difficult time or supporting a business with growth and success, we bring compassion and commitment because this is our community, too.
Giving Back, Moving Forward
We’re proud to support a wide range of community initiatives, local charities, and important social causes across Kawartha Lakes. From youth sports to healthcare, mental health and education, we do our best to invest where it matters most. Some of the community organizations we support include:
- Kawartha Lakes Food Source
- Women’s Resources
- Big Brothers, Big Sisters
- Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation
- Boys and Girls Clubs
- Community Care Kawartha Lakes
We also sponsor events and programs that bring people together, spark joy, and help build a stronger, more connected community.
Walking the Walk
Our staff don’t just volunteer firm time – they give their personal time, energy, and expertise to causes that are meaningful to them. Many serve on local boards, participate in community cleanups, coach youth teams, and help organize fundraisers. It’s a culture that starts from the top and is embraced by everyone here.
This hands-on approach reflects our belief that strong communities and strong legal practices go hand in hand. We don’t see community engagement as an add-on; we see it as an essential part of our identity.
How It Shapes Our Legal Work
Being actively involved in our community gives us a better understanding of what matters most to our clients. It helps us stay in touch with the evolving needs of local families, seniors, small businesses, and young professionals. That awareness allows us to provide legal advice that is practical, relevant, and deeply connected to the lives of those we serve.
Whether it’s estate planning for local retirees, helping a young entrepreneur launch their dream business, or supporting a family through a separation, our connection to community always informs how we approach our work.
Looking Ahead
We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve Kawartha Lakes – not just as legal professionals, but as neighbours, volunteers, and supporters. Community is not a box we check; it’s a value we live every day.
As we move forward, we’re excited to deepen our community relationships, support even more initiatives, and continue working toward a stronger, healthier, more inclusive region for everyone. If you know of a local cause, organization, or event that could use support, we’d love to hear about it. Community is built together—and we’re proud to play our part.
