Justice for the People
Avant Law Professional Corporation is a progressive Ottawa law firm dedicated to social justice and the protection of individual rights. Co-founded by Daniel Tucker-Simmons, the firm focuses on areas of law that directly impact the livelihoods and housing security of everyday people. We specialize in Tenant Rights, Workers’ Rights, and Human Rights law. Our mission is to balance the scales of justice by providing high-quality, accessible legal representation to those facing eviction, workplace discrimination, or unfair labour practices. We understand the power dynamics at play in landlord-tenant and employer-employee relationships, and we are fearless in fighting for the underdog.
