"Like art, law is nuanced. As lawyers, we often play the role of interpreter, drawing out meaning to make something beautiful and easy to understand from something that, at first glance, may appear ugly or confusing." - Jordan Moss

Jordan Moss Associate

To Jordan Moss, the pursuit of truth and justice takes more than intellectual rigour—it takes a commitment to understanding a different perspective. Working primarily in commercial and civil litigation, Jordan appreciates both the novelty and the challenge of working on different cases with diverse clients and problems. “I really enjoy the phase of getting to know a client and learning the specifics of their business and their case,” he says. “These details help me develop a strategy that will get the best result for my clients.”

Delighting in the details

As a young lawyer, Jordan Moss cut his teeth at a major Bay Street firm in Toronto. “I’ve learned from some really great practitioners,” he says. “Seeing how other lawyers do things, including how they advocate in court and prepare for a case, has been extremely valuable for me.”

Jordan appreciates the personal relationships he can build with clients now he’s practicing in Hamilton. “It’s just a different environment,” he says. “I’m a people person, and working here gives me the opportunity to connect with people in a different way.”

As a member of the Thompson-Moloci-Stanton litigation team, Jordan has seen firsthand the positive impact of bringing together people with unique skills and perspectives. “It’s great to work with people who have had different experiences and contribute their own expertise,” Jordan says. “It helps me connect the dots between complicated legal arguments to solve specific problems for our clients.”
