Raymond L. Steele

When Ray Steele was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1970, he won the honour of being appointed as the sole Law Clerk to the Chief Justice of Ontario. Upon completion of the term, he went on to practice law in Georgetown and later Toronto, where he developed his expertise in Business Law. In 1988, Ray came to Niagara to join his law-school friend, Jim Sissons, as a partner in Martin Sheppard Fraser LLP.

Ray's practice is restricted entirely to Business Law. He is experienced in the organization, operation, acquisition, and sale of all types of business, from sole proprietorships to large corporations.

His strong business background is valued by international clients operating in Ontario and by Niagara clients seeking business opportunities both domestic and foreign. Always concerned with on-going legal and business education, Ray recently completed the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants in-depth tax course.

When not practising law, Ray is an avid golfer and excellent curler.
