Hi, I’m Jeff Cormier — a partner at Key Murray Law with over 20 years of experience helping people and businesses across Prince Edward Island move forward with clarity, confidence, and practical advice.
Jeffery A. Cormier
My practice spans corporate and commercial law, real estate, employment, estate planning, and family law. Whether I’m guiding a business through a major transaction, helping a family buy their first home, or navigating the complexities of a separation, I bring a steady, strategic approach rooted in real-world outcomes. I’m not here to impress you with legal jargon — I’m here to help you make sound decisions and keep things moving.
I also had the privilege of serving as Chair of the Canadian Bar Association’s National Business Law Section — a national leadership role that allowed me to collaborate with legal professionals across the country and contribute to the future of business law. That experience sharpened my insight and deepened my commitment to client-focused, down-to-earth legal service.
Clients often tell me they feel more grounded after we talk — like someone’s finally speaking their language. That’s exactly what I aim for. Good legal advice should be clear, candid, and actually useful. I don’t overcomplicate. I break things down, explain what matters, and help you move forward with confidence.
Outside the office, I’m a dad (first and always), a theme park junkie, an outdoors guy, and an unapologetic fan of deep-dive YouTube videos, podcasts, and books I wish I had more time to finish. If we end up working together, chances are we’ll talk law — but probably also coasters, kids, or that oddly compelling deep-dive you found on YouTube at midnight.
If you’re dealing with something legal — whether it’s personal, professional, or a little of both — and want someone who’ll meet you where you are and speak to you like a real person, I’d be happy to help. Let’s talk.
