Barriston LLP is pleased to announce the continued growth of the firm with the addition of Alousis Law, a respected Barrie-based firm led by John Alousis and Melissa Conte, effective March 23rd.

John and Melissa bring extensive experience in Real Estate, Wills & Estates, and Corporate/Commercial law to Barriston’s prominent Solicitors Practice Group. Their strong track record, well-established client base, and longstanding reputation for excellence in the community make them a valuable addition to the practice and firm culture of Barriston.

The Alousis Law group will join Barriston at the firm’s Ferris Lane office. Their arrival reflects Barriston’s ongoing commitment to thoughtful, strategic growth and to providing clients with comprehensive, high-quality legal services.

Community leadership is a core value for both firms. John Alousis has held leadership roles with the Simcoe County Home Builders’ Association, the Rotary Club of Barrie-Huronia, Victoria Village Manor, and, most recently, Barrie Cares. Melissa Conte is a board member of Empower Simcoe, supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities. These contributions demonstrate the shared goals of community service and positive local impact.

“We are thrilled to welcome John, Melissa, and their team to Barriston,” the partners said in a joint statement. “Their expertise strengthens our capabilities in key practice areas, and their addition aligns with our vision of expanding through selective merger with talented, community-focused professionals.”

Barriston invites clients, colleagues, and community partners to join in welcoming the Alousis Law team.
