Zachary Wilson

My law practice is concentrated on family law and matrimonial litigation. I am comfortable in cases involving high conflict custody and access as well as complex property and support issues.

I provide my clients with experienced advice and professional service. I avoid taking on more work than I can handle properly and files do not sit around in my office collecting dust. I am committed to returning telephone calls promptly and I report to each client on a regular basis in language that is clear and concise. By utilizing the latest computer technology, I am able to provide clients with top quality and efficient legal representation.

I am involved in ongoing professional development, participating regularly in continuing legal education programs through the Law Society of Upper Canada, and am a part-time instructor at Westervelt College where I teach legal research to paralegals and law clerks. I keep up-to-date on notable family law cases, and have established strong relationships with highly respected senior counsel with whom I regularly discuss issues relating to the practice of family law.

I graduated from the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Law and then articled with the first-rate Bay Street law firm of Rachlin & Wolfson before being called to the Ontario Bar in 1995. Prior to entering law school I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Trent University, consistently making the Dean’s Honors list and receiving numerous awards and scholarships. I was recognized by the Department of Philosophy for my academic excellence by twice receiving the Gadfly Award for having achieved the highest grades among all second and third year philosophy students. I have worked as a Provincial Prosecutor with the Crown Attorney’s office in Barrie, and as a Litigation Support Analyst with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

I understand the changing dynamic of family law in Canada, including issues relating to same-sex relationships, adoptions and assisted reproduction technologies such as surrogacy and in-vitro fertilization. I participated in a series of workshops hosted by Health Canada designed to assist in drafting regulations for the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, and regularly attend seminars through the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Program at the London Health Sciences Centre’s university campus.
