Inga Andriessen – Toronto Business Lawyer

Thirty years ago a blonde, newly Called lawyer with a degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, walked into an interview for a law job, instead was invited to start a law firm and she did. Since that start in 1993 Inga has been practicing exclusively in the field of Business Law. She describes her personal practice these days as 70% litigation and 30% drafting and Trademark work with a reputation for being aggressive, fair and professional. To make up for being a business lawyer, Inga has given back by volunteering as the Chair of the Ontario Justice Education Network Halton Committee until June of 2023.  Inga hosts a periodic podcast @IngaTalk where she shares information helpful to everyone from students to seasoned lawyers.

Inga also is Mentor Lawyer and subject Matter Expert for the Ryerson Law Practice Program and a frequent speaker in Osgoode Hall Law School’s “Beyond Bay Street” class. You’d think that after a day running the firm and volunteering, Inga would kick back with a Bourbon, Suits style and relax. That happens occasionally but you’re more likely to find her scuba diving, skiing, mountain biking, running, hiking, kayaking, camping or SUPing. Seriously – she has way too many sports she likes to do: focus in her off-work life is clearly not her strength!
