Oatley, Vigmond traces its roots back to 1974 when Roger Oatley moved to Barrie to open his own office. Roger articled in Toronto. He began to practice law at Borden and Elliot, as it was then known in 1972. He left Toronto in 1973 to establish his own firm. Six months later, at Roger’s invitation, Alan Purser joined him, and the firm name was changed to Oatley, Purser.
