Build Your Litigation Career Where Opportunity Meets Lifestyle

Why Port Colborne?

Imagine finishing a day in court and being on the beach within minutes. Port Colborne, nestled on the sandy shores of Lake Erie, offers a lifestyle that blends small-town charm with big opportunities. Our historic community is on the rise, with

over $19 million in new development projects, a federal housing expansion, and a $1.7 billion Asahi Kasei manufacturing facility

underway.
