Greg Monforton Appointed to the Board of Trustees of The Law Foundation of Ontario

We are pleased to announce that our co-founding partner, Greg Monforton, has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of The Law Foundation of Ontario, effective September 24, 2026. Greg was appointed by the Treasurer of the Law Society of Ontario and succeeds Shalini Konanur, who stepped down from the Board following her election as Treasurer in June 2026.

About The Law Foundation of Ontario

The Law Foundation of Ontario has been advancing access to justice since 1974. Through granting and collaboration, the Foundation invests in knowledge and services that help people understand the law and use it to improve their lives. It also administers the Class Proceedings Fund, which provides cost assistance in class actions. The Foundation’s five-member Board includes three trustees appointed by the Law Society of Ontario and two appointed by the Attorney General of Ontario.

“We are pleased to welcome Greg to the Board of Trustees,” said Gerald Chan, the Foundation’s Board Chair. “Greg is well known as an innovative and empathetic litigator. The Foundation’s Trustees and beneficiaries will be well-served by Greg’s extensive experience advocating for remedies for people who are facing some of the most catastrophic and life-altering scenarios.”

“Access to justice shouldn’t depend on where a person lives or what they can afford,” said Greg. “I’m deeply honoured to serve on the Board of Trustees of The Law Foundation of Ontario and to contribute to its mission of making the justice system work better for all Ontarians.”

A Career Dedicated to Injured People

Called to the Ontario Bar in 1981, Greg is a Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation and a Southwest Region Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario, where he was recently appointed second vice-chair of the Professional Development and Competence Committee.

Greg is a past president of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and a member of The Advocates’ Society and the American Association for Justice. He has presented numerous talks and papers and is an occasional lecturer at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law and St. Clair College.

His professional and community work has been recognized with:
