Rowan's Experience
Originally from Pickering, I spent over a decade in Ottawa where I completed my studies with the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law. After several years practicing law with a major municipality, I have made the move to Peterborough to be closer to family and enjoy all the area has to offer.
What do you enjoy about your job?
I appreciate the chance to get to know our clients and support them at key stages of their lives. SLP’s focus on providing excellent service to our community fits well with my values.

What is your goal when a client comes to see you?
I believe law is about public service, and so I want my clients to know we are on their side to help them navigate matters big and small. My hope is to take something that can feel complex and break it down into something manageable so that my clients feel confident and supported.
What is something interesting about you that you'd like your clients to know?
I am a sucker for old motorcycles, both riding and tinkering. When the weather permits, I love my ride to and from work.
Fun Facts
- I have run 5 marathons at impressively average paces. Now, I am all tuckered out (at least until the running bug bites again).
