Bob Pettitt, Bill Schwarz and Carly Hills
Bob and Bill studied at McMaster University (Bob) and at the University
of Western Ontario (Bill), and later met at the University
of Toronto Law Faculty where we each graduated with a Doctor
of Jurisprudence. In 1967, one year after graduating, Bob
married Gail and Bill married Nancy.
We articled with two prestigious Bay Street law firms (Bill
at the firm of Gardiner Roberts and Bob at the firm of White,
Bristol) where we received a solid grounding in the fundamentals
of the practice of law. We were both invited back to practice
at our respective firms and worked there for about two years.
In 1969, after relatively exhaustive research as to the
best communities within an hour of Toronto, we chose Galt,
Preston and Hespeler in which to locate. The towns had a
feeling of community, akin to our origins of Regina (Bill)
and Hamilton (Bob).
On September 1, 2009, Bob and Bill welcomed Carly Hills as an associate.
Carly studied at York University and went to law school at the University of New Brunswick. She completed her articles in Bracebridge and was called to the Bar in 2007. She went on to practice at a firm in Simcoe but is now happy to call Cambridge home.
Carly has rapidly become a member of the Cambridge community and is only too happy to accept new clients and referrals.
40 Years of Evolution and Stability
 On January 1, 2010, Carly became a partner in Pettitt Schwarz and on
January 7, 2010, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the
founding of our firm.
Forty years brings a lot of change.
We are proud of the fact that we were able to maintain a
sense of history and, at the same time, incorporate an avalanche
of new technology.
The precept on which we built our practice, and which we
continue to enhance and cultivate, is our commitment to
have a relationship with our clients.
We have always tried to be a "relationship" firm
rather then a "transactional" firm. What we mean
is that we try very hard to be all things to you! This may
sound strange in our day and age of specialization but that
is the reason for our success. We don't only want to act
for you in a single transaction; we want to represent your
business, do your estate planning, act for you when you
buy or sell your home; help you in difficult times... and
all of the other necessary times you need a lawyer. When
we have a relationship with you we are aware, not only of
your need, but also of your expectation. Our commitment
in our relationship with you is that we will only do first
class work, sensitive and responsive to your requirements.
If we can't do the work ourselves, [and that does occasionally
happen], we will only refer you to someone who is as competent
in their field as we are in ours.
