For over a century, Bennett Jones has been an internationally recognized Canadian law firm founded and focused on principles of professional excellence, integrity, respect and independent thought. Our firm’s leadership position is reflected in the law we practise, the ground-breaking work we do, the client relationships we have and the quality of our people. Bennett Jones is home to more than 500 lawyers and business advisors in seven offices—Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montréal and New York. Our professional practice encompasses virtually every sector of business, industry and government. Operating seamlessly across our geographic locations, our business practice is to assign lawyers to work on client files who have the skills and experience that best meet our clients’ needs. Our ranks are filled with leaders in the fields of mergers and acquisitions, energy and natural resources, corporate finance and banking, bankruptcy and restructuring, commercial litigation, climate change, environment, ESG, construction, technology and intellectual property, tax, competition, international trade and public policy. Members of our exceptional Public Policy group have served at the highest levels of office and been invaluable for their leadership in shaping public policy in Canada—and in developing business responses to those policies. Among our group we count a former governor of the Bank of Canada, two former deputy prime ministers of Canada, a former Supreme Court of Canada justice, a former Canadian ambassador to the United States of America and a former commissioner of the Canadian Competition Bureau.
