Aaron MacKenzie

Associate Counsel

University of Western - JD

Aaron obtained his Juris Doctor from the University of Western Ontario in 2014 and was called to the bar in 2015 after completing his articling at two Toronto firms, one of which, specialized in family law. It was immediately apparent to Aaron that he had the desire and skill set required to excel in practicing family law. Aaron has the keen ability to understand the unique challenges faced by clients encountering one of the most difficult times of their lives, while strategically applying the law to reach successful outcomes through the court process or negotiating settlements.

Outside of practicing law, Aaron is known for his commitment to his family. When one of his children was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2020, he didn’t hesitate to step away from the practice temporarily to be a support for his family as they traversed a difficult season. Thankful for his son’s full recovery and return to good health, Aaron has returned to the Toronto area, where he grew up and has returned to the practice of family law.

In addition to his commitment for his family, Aaron has a passion for helping the most vulnerable and has devoted a significant amount of time and energy to helping children in rural South Africa by volunteering at a mission school in the township of Shayandima. Unlike in Canada, many children in South Africa are not afforded the educational opportunities we enjoy and take for granted. Its these educational opportunities that change a child's life and offer them the possibility of a brighter future.

Aaron’s well-rounded life experience, legal expertise, and commitment to his clients makes him an exceptional lawyer. This is why Aaron is a trusted advocate and invaluable asset to Drake Law’s team.
