Mills & Mills LLP was founded in 1884 when George Gordon Mills and his brother, Alexander Mills, opened the first office of their Toronto law firm at the corner of Church & Front Street. Since that time, there has been a continuous presence of the Mills family in the firm - now in its fourth generation - the longest standing such tradition for a law firm in Canada.

The firm was founded on the fundamental principle of providing excellent legal services – a value that has remained with the firm throughout its existence and continues today. As a result, Mills & Mills LLP has enjoyed the trust and confidence of a great number of its clients for a long time, many into multiple generations.

Throughout its history, the firm's lawyers have distinguished themselves in many ways within the practice of law and beyond: one was the Premier of Ontario, two others were the Attorney General of Ontario, one was the Treasurer of Ontario, one was the Toronto City Solicitor and others have become High Court Judges. Ralph Shaw Mills Q.C. was one of the last Canadian lawyers to appear before the Privy Council shortly before appeals from the Supreme Court of Canada to this highest court of the United Kingdom were abolished.

Given the large number of legal practitioners in Ontario and the huge range of choice in representation, we take pride that our clients consistently turn to Mills & Mills LLP for all their legal needs.
