Kelly Paul Hart

Kelly has been practicing with Williams Litigation Lawyers across Eastern and Northern Ontario exclusively in the area of civil litigation since his call to the bar in 2007.

Growing up working long hours on a Manitoba farm taught Kelly the value of hard work and tenacity, traits that mark him now as a lawyer. He has never lost his small-town touch or his ability to relate to people and to the real-life challenges that many of his clients face.

Never one to shy away from a difficult case, Kelly is always looking for creative ways to be an effective advocate. As a skilled negotiator, Kelly has successfully resolved hundreds of cases for both individuals and institutional clients. As part of a firm of trial lawyers, Kelly is at home in the courtroom and is always prepared to take a matter to trial if the case demands.

Kelly has been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada® for his expertise in Personal Injury Litigation. This peer-reviewed recognition reflects the views of leading lawyers in the same practice areas and regions. Fewer than 3% of lawyers in private practice globally are recognized by Best Lawyers®. Kelly brings nearly 20 years of experience in personal injury litigation, having represented both plaintiffs and insurers, giving him a unique perspective on how these cases are assessed, negotiated, and litigated.

Kelly has appeared successfully on jury and judge-alone trials, motions, and appeals at various levels of court including, the Federal Court of Canada, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Divisional Court, and the CPP Disability Review Tribunal. Kelly regularly volunteers providing free legal advice to self-represented low-income clients through Law Help Ontario’s legal clinic.

His free time is spent enjoying time with his wife and four daughters and playing golf and hockey.
