MacGillivray Law St. John's office exterior
709-722-1800
Monday-Friday: 8:30AM - 4:30PM
Saturday-Sunday: Closed

Our St. John’s office sits at 279 Duckworth St, just minutes from downtown St. John’s and easy to reach from anywhere in the Avalon Peninsula. It’s home to a team of lawyers, paralegals, and support staff who live and work right here in Newfoundland and Labrador — and who care deeply about the people who walk through our doors.

We designed this office with our clients in mind. Many of the people we help are recovering from injuries or navigating difficult times, so we’ve made sure everything from the parking lot to the meeting rooms is comfortable, accessible, and stress-free. You don’t need to bring anything formal — just yourself. We’ll handle the rest.

Our St. John's Office Experience

Fully Accessible

Private Meeting Rooms

Coffee & Snacks

Virtual Meeting Options

Our St. John's office is designed so everyone can visit comfortably. If you use a wheelchair, walker, cane, or have any mobility needs, you'll find moving through our space easy and unobstructed. Need a specific accommodation? Just let us know ahead of your visit and we'll have everything ready.
Legal matters are personal, and the conversations you'll have with your team often involve sensitive details about your health, finances, and family. Our private meeting rooms give you a quiet, confidential space to talk openly without worrying about who might overhear. Each room is comfortable, well-lit, and set up so you can focus on what matters — your story and your case.
Whether you've travelled across the city or driven in from out of town, we want you to feel at home the moment you arrive. Help yourself to fresh coffee, tea, bottled water, and a few light snacks in our reception area. It's a small thing, but we believe small things matter — especially when you're already dealing with so much.
Not every client can, or wants to, come into the office, and that's perfectly okay. If you're recovering from an injury, living outside St. John's, or simply prefer to meet from the comfort of your home, we offer video meetings over Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or FaceTime. You'll get the same attention, the same care, and the same legal expertise as you would in person.

What Our Clients Say...

November 2026

After a life-altering motor vehicle accident left me unable to work, I found myself facing an uphill battle with my long-term disability insurance provider. Despite having legitimate medical conditions and being unable to return to my career, my claim was denied, and my subsequent appeal was unsuccessful.

From the beginning, they treated my situation with compassion, professionalism, and determination. They understood that this wasn’t simply about an insurance policy or a financial settlement. It was about my livelihood, my family’s financial security, and having my circumstances taken seriously.

I highly recommend MacGillivray Injury & Insurance Law firm to anyone who has been involved in an accident or is in need of their services. I reached out to them after a motor vehicle accident and they took me on right away. They returned my calls quickly, explained each step in plain language, and handled all the back-and-forth with the insurance company. They are a wonderful team of professionals who successfully negotiated a settlement on my behalf and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you need a personal injury firm in Newfoundland that communicates well and fights for a fair judgment then don’t hesitate to contact them.

MacGillivray Injury & Law Insurance are by far the best. I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer than Emma Neynens and her team.

When I had questions, they were able to help me out and point me in the right direction; they’re very understanding; and they respond in a timely manner. The communication was over the phone, then by email.

I give MacGillivary a 5 out of 5 and I highly recommend them.

One of the things I appreciated most was how they took the time to explain everything in a way I could actually understand. I have no background or expertise in law, so the legal terminology and process could have been overwhelming, but they consistently simplified things for me and made sure I understood what was happening.

I always felt that my questions and concerns were taken seriously, and I never felt like I was being rushed or left wondering what was going on. Their professionalism, patience and genuine compassion made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I’m very appreciative of everything they did for me and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs legal help following an accident.

June 2026

I initiated a claim for Long Term Disability Benefits with MacGillivray Law around April of 2024 after my benefits had been discontinued in January of the same year. I initiated contact through MacGillivray Law’s website and received a call the very next morning. After the initial intake phone call, I was left feeling reassured. I felt very supported and heard during the information gathering portion, as well as through discovery and resulting mediation in November of 2025. I am very thankful to my lawyer, who was very kind and empathetic, and helped me through that part of my disability journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a claim in St. John's?

In Newfoundland and Labrador, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some exceptions apply. Don’t wait – contact our St. John’s office immediately to protect your rights.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

Newfoundland and Labrador follows a contributory negligence system. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 25% at fault for an accident, you could still recover 75% of your damages.

Will my case go to court?

Most personal injury cases in St. John’s settle without trial – approximately 95% resolve through negotiation or mediation. However, our willingness to go to court strengthens your negotiating position.

Can I handle my claim without a lawyer?

While you have the right to self-represent, insurance companies have experienced legal teams working to minimize payouts. Studies show that injured people with lawyers receive significantly higher settlements, even after legal fees.
