About us

Trusted Legal Expertise You Can Rely On

Sangster Law started practising law in 1978 when William A. Sangster first moved to North Bay. He came to North Bay from Hamilton, Ontario because he always loved Northern Ontario as a child. He worked with several lawyers from 1978 until 1990 when he opened his own firm in 1990. We are still located in his original building at 234 Main St. West.

He started as a Criminal Lawyer and gained much success in that area of practice. Always the humorist, he coined the phrase “If you’re a Gangster come to Sangster”. He later expanded his practice into Real Estate, Corporate, Wills & Estates, Family Law and Civil Litigation.

Most notable for his success in the Civil and Family law fields, Bill Sangster began to grow his firm into a highly successful Real Estate firm. Sangster Law has kept up his tradition by offering services in all of his original fields of work. We now offer residential, commercial as well as private mortgage Real Estate work.

Bill Sangster has now passed his practice to his son, Liam Sangster in late 2015. Liam has been managing the firm since December 2015.

We were threatened to have a third of our house taken from us by the Public Trustee and Guardian. Liam helped us organize all of our documents and wrote a letter to the Public Trustee and Guardian. He was able to convince them to give us what we wanted I was really happy with Liam's services.

“

Sangster Law assisted my wife and I to buy a corporation. They walked us through the entire process and were able to find ways of reducing our purchase price. They drafted a share purchase agreement for us and were able to negotiate terms on our behalf. We had difficulty with one of our banks and Liam Sangster personally went to the bank to negotiate and we got our money on time. I would recommend Sangster Law to anyone purchasing a new corporation.

“

I am a real estate agent in the City of North Bay. I run a very busy practice and have started using Sangster Law for most of my real estate deals. I have been very impressed with their services. They are timely, professional and are often able to find problems weeks before they arise. They have assisted me in closing deals that were at risk of being cancelled. I would recommend Sangster Law to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home.

I had a family law matter in 2016 and 2017 where every judge I came across advised me that I was not going to win my case at trial. Despite this, Liam agreed to help me. He took the matter to trial and actually won our case. I was able to get everything I wanted. Liam was very respectful and professional. I believed that he really did care for my family.
