Since 1929, Weaver, Simmons LLP has been supporting the North. Founded in 1929, the firm was originally named McKessock, Wilkins and Facer. In 1946, Cecil Facer continued the office with a new partner, William Shea. Facer was awarded King’s Counsel in 1945 and worked as an alderman, city solicitor and member of the local planning board. Facer played a pivotal role in the opening of a juvenile court in Sudbury where he became the first judge and was widely known for his refusal to house youths in detention with adults. The Cecil Facer Centre for young offenders in Sudbury is a tribute to his dedication to assisting youth in conflict with the law.

One of the first female lawyers and believed to be the first female partner, was Mary Patricia Weaver. Ms. Weaver came to Sudbury in the 1950s after graduating from law school. She worked in the community and eventually joined Facer Shea as an associate in 1962. Ms. Weaver practiced in corporate and real estate law and was awarded the honourary title of Queen’s Counsel. She was a dedicated member of the Sudbury community through her tireless volunteer activities. Mary Weaver passed away on January 27, 2018. She will be dearly missed by the Sudbury and Legal communities.
