Corporate Law Clerk
Our ‘up the creek’ ad always merits a chuckle: a team of lawyers, each with a paddle and stroking confidently upstream. The first letter of the ‘#HIT CREEK’ sign behind them is strategically covered by a branch and an arrow is pointing in the opposite direction.
Mason Bennett Johncox has been helping their clients safely navigate the waters – fast, murky and choppy – for over 26 years. Founded in 1994 in north-end Whitby, it relocated to an inviting historic property in downtown Brooklin in 2009 and has expanded to downtown Port Perry to provide a one-stop shop for business owners of every size and stripe.
