A Reputation for Excellence
John Nelligan and Denis Power founded Nelligan O'Brien Payne LLP, formerly Nelligan Power, in 1969. Since the firm's inception, we have built a rock-solid reputation for excellence in servicing our clients, the community, and the legal profession.
We've grown from our original two founding partners to a team of 52 lawyers and over 80 business and support staff. As a mid-size firm, we're not too big to deliver focused, individualized expertise, and not too small to offer a broad range of value-added services.
Nelligan O'Brien Payne is not your average law firm. Based in Ottawa, with offices in Alexandria, Kingston and Vankleek Hill, Ontario, Nelligan O'Brien Payne is an integral part of the local and national communities. We provide innovative, customer-focused solutions to a diverse client base, host an excellent articling program, and are adding new services, like the Nelligan O'Brien Payne Union Consulting Group, to our roster every year.
Our aim is to provide the deepest, broadest services to each and every one of our clients. Whether you are an individual or a large organization, you'll benefit from the combined know-how and straight talk of 52 talented lawyers and consultants.
