Ottawa law firm Auger Hollingsworth had modest beginnings. In 2004, criminal defense lawyer Richard Auger started the firm with one client file, operating in shared office space with another law firm. Months later, Richard's wife, Brenda Hollingsworth, a litigation and personal injury specialist, joined the firm and became an equal partner.

The firm grew quickly as a result of Richard and Brenda's tireless work ethic. Early successes for clients led to word-of-mouth referrals and a buzz in the legal and business circles in Ottawa. As word spread about the law firm, recognition soon followed. The firm was named the bronze winner of the Ottawa Business Journal's "New Business of the Year" award in 2006.
