Our Journey to Becoming Cochrane’s Leading Law Firm
M&C Law has evolved significantly since its origins as Mabbott & Company. Today, the name may have changed, but our commitment remains unchanged In 2012, Matthew W. Kirk joined the firm, followed by Simrun S. Dhaliwal in 2014. In October 2023, we moved to our current office at 208 Centre Avenue, reinforcing our mission to serve the community from a central location. The firm’s evolution continued in February 2025, when Simrun S. Dhaliwal became a partner and we officially adopted our refreshed name: M&C Law, reflecting our commitment to modern, client-focused legal service.
