How we got here

A message about Jonathan Marler

Picture of Jonathan Marler

The law firm was first started by Jonathan H. Marler, who practiced law for over 50 years and was my mentor.  I met Jonathan when I joined the firm for my articling period.  I remained with the firm after that time ended and eventually, we became partners in Marler & Kane LLP.  Sadly, Jonathan passed away on January 13, 2024.

Jonathan loved to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. He particularly enjoyed teaching younger associates, law students and high school co-op students, in the hope that they achieve careers that have been as rewarding as his. Jonathan had a true passion and love of sailing and exploring his family history.

I will be forever grateful to Jonathan for taking me under his wing.  Fair winds and following seas, Jonathan.
