About Lawson Creamer
After 20 years in the pulp and paper industry and another 10 years as a senior executive with J.D. Irving Limited, Gerald B. Lawson decided to start practicing law full-time in 1978.
The next year, he was joined by his son Gerald M. (Gary) Lawson. For several years they worked together under the name Lawson & Lawson, specializing in business, labour and employment law and litigation. Today, the firm continues to be focused principally on these areas.
Robert Creamer joined the firm in 1989, and soon the firm became known as Lawson Creamer.
