Our history
Sullivan Law Ptbo is very proud that it is and will be continuing a legal tradition that began on or about the 1950s with the Honourable Justice Richard Batten and continued with Mr. William Davidson.
Mrs. Lois Davidson then joined Mr. Davidson in his practice. Mrs. Davidson, many believe, was the first female lawyer in Peterborough. Her dedication to the legal community and particularly to the law library caused for it to be named in her honour the ‘Lois C. Davidson Law Library’.
After Mr. Davidson’s sudden death Mr. Scott McMichael joined Lois and McMichael Davidson was created. Mr. McMichael has been carrying on this practice since Mrs. Davidson’s retirement in 2003. On January 1, 2018 Scott McMichael officially transitioned his practice to Sullivan Law Ptbo.
Fred Gariepy and Sharon Murphy were the force behind Gariepy Murphy which began (where Sullivan Law is now located on Sherbrooke Street) in 1984. Their practice grew greatly over the years both from Fred and Sharon’s legal skills and their kind and personable approach with their clients. Fred continued their practice until 2020 when he fully retired and transitioned their practice to Sullivan Law.
