We are Canada's law firm. At Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG), our commitment to excellence applies to everything we do. We understand that the professional and service excellence we offer to our clients is dependent on our team - our students, support staff, paralegals, patent agents and experienced legal professionals. At BLG, it begins with exceptional people.

BLG is a dynamic, full-service national law firm with over 800 lawyers across Canada working in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. We serve clients throughout North America, Europe and Asia, bringing expertise in intellectual property, litigation and corporate transactional matters. Our connectivity gives our clients the next-level service required to achieve success in their complex national and international interests.

Each year, BLG and its lawyers are ranked among Canada's top legal professionals and law firms by the most respected national and international legal publications including Chambers Canada, Chambers Global, Benchmark Litigation, the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory, Legal 500, and The Best Lawyers in Canada.

These rankings reflect our commitment to client service, the professionalism of our lawyers, their high-calibre work and the ability to deliver useful business solutions to our clients.

Right from the start, we offer an exceptional and outstanding experience for students and associates to launch and develop their careers. Training begins with an in-depth orientation for our students, supplemented with our mentoring program designed to provide students and associates with coaching, feedback, collaboration and challenge tailored to individual strengths and interests.

Our investment does not stop there. As part of our commitment to providing top-tier legal services, and to facilitate the path to partnership, we created the Professional Excellence Program - a unique, nationally co-ordinated initiative that encompasses substantive legal training, skills development, practice and client relationship management, as well as knowledge management - ensuring that our lawyers develop the skills necessary to serve our clients.

At BLG, we believe that professional development extends beyond the walls of the Firm. We actively encourage all members of the Firm to get involved in their communities through many of BLG’s philanthropic efforts, such as BLG Reads to Kids. We also have a thriving pro bono practice and are proud to foster an environment in which lawyers can help improve access to the justice system, make the communities where we live better places and make a profound difference for people and organizations that otherwise would be unable to access the legal system. BLG has received numerous awards for its pro bono work.

At BLG, diversity and inclusiveness are critical to our success. Our workforce reflects the diverse and multi-cultural community in which we operate. Our ability to draw on a variety of perspectives enables us to provide innovative, pragmatic and efficient legal services to our clients. We have always recognized the importance, value and effectiveness of individuals working in a collegial atmosphere with true team spirit. Cooperation, collegiality, loyalty and mutual respect are central pillars of our firm's core values.
