About Tierney Stauffer LLP

Tierney Stauffer LLP’s roots go back to 1982 when our Managing Partner, Stephen Tierney, opened his law practice in Ottawa. Stephen’s brother Frank joined him in 1983, and their brother Dana entered the practice in 1986. In 1989, Ian Stauffer, a former classmate of Frank’s, left another firm to join the Tierney brothers, and Tierney Stauffer LLP was born.

What started as a small, family-run law firm has grown and flourished in the community for the last 27 years. The firm consists of 22 respected and talented lawyers who possess outstanding educational and community service backgrounds and have a wealth of experience in representing a diverse client base in virtually every substantive area of the law.

Our focus remains to work hard for the success of our clients and the firm, and to provide excellence in legal service.
