What Makes PIA Law Different?

PIA Law brings together three of Ontario’s most recognized plaintiff-side personal injury firms: McLeish Orlando LLP, Oatley Vigmond LLP, Thomson Rogers, LLP.

All three hold National Tier 1 recognition for Personal Injury Litigation from Best Law Firms™ Canada 2026. All three have been recognized by Canadian Lawyer’s personal injury boutique rankings since the ranking began in 2011. Across the alliance are lawyers recognized by Lexpert and The Best Lawyers in Canada™, Law Society of Ontario Certified Specialists in Civil Litigation, former presidents of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, and lawyers responsible for some of Canada’s most significant personal injury judgments.

PIA Law gives injured Ontarians one point of access to that collective depth. PIA Law is an alliance and shared platform, not a separate law firm. Clients who contact PIA Law are connected with one of its three independent member firms for legal advice and representation.

Three firms. One Call.

How PIA Law works

• PIA Law is a shared platform, not a fourth law firm. It does not retain clients, bill clients, or manage files.
• When you call 1-855-4-PIA-LAW or submit an inquiry through pialaw.ca, your call is directed to the law firms of McLeish Orlando LLP, Oatley Vigmond LLP, Thomson Rogers, LLP.

Why three firms, not one

PIA Law was built around a simple idea: bring together three highly recognized personal injury firms so injured Ontarians can access their collective depth of experience through one platform.

Across the alliance are Lexpert-ranked lawyers, lawyers recognized in The Best Lawyers in Canada™, and Law Society of Ontario Certified Specialists in Civil Litigation. All three member firms also count past presidents of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association among their partners.

Their courtroom records are equally significant.

• McLeish Orlando secured an $18.4 million judgment for a catastrophically brain-injured child, which the firm identifies as the largest personal injury damages award in Canadian history.
• Oatley Vigmond acted in a contested trial resulting in more than $24 million in damages for two catastrophically injured plaintiffs, a result the firm identifies as including the largest spinal cord injury judgment in Canadian history.
• Thomson Rogers LLP brings more than 90 years of litigation experience to the alliance. Its lawyers represented the plaintiff in Baker v. Blue Cross, securing a landmark $1.5 million punitive damages award upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal, and have represented clients before the Supreme Court of Canada.

These are established litigation firms with the lawyers, resources, professional recognition, and courtroom experience to pursue serious personal injury cases when the stakes are highest.

Three independent firms. Decades of experience. National Tier 1 recognition across the alliance. One point of access through PIA Law.
