With over 400 lawyers and nine offices in Canada's main commercial centers, including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary, Heenan Blaikie is able to provide comprehensive legal advice to business clients operating in any industry, anywhere on the continent.
Since its inception in 1973, our firm has expanded steadily by recruiting top-notch talent and by building on our core strengths in labour and employment, litigation, business law, taxation, entertainment and intellectual property. Many of our lawyers are recognized as leaders in their practice areas in both national and international surveys and publications.
The firm has within its ranks a number of prominent individuals who have made their mark on the national and international stage including the former Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien, P.C., Q.C.; the Honourable John W. Morden, former Associate Chief Justice of Ontario; Marcel Aubut, O.C., Q.C., former Governor of the National Hockey League; Pierre Marc Johnson, FRSC, former Premier of the Province of Québec; and André Bureau, O.C., former Chairman of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and current Chairman of AstralMedia. We also maintain close ties with Donald J. Johnston, who is currently Secretary-General of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Mr. Johnston was co-founder of the firm and acted as legal counsel to Heenan Blaikie for a number of years following a decade-long political career, during which time he served as a federal cabinet minister in a number of senior portfolios. The late former Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau, also acted as counsel to the firm for 16 years after retiring from political life.
That our firm has flourished in a highly competitive business environment reflects the quality, cost-effectiveness and creativity of our legal work, as well as something more fundamental: the value we place on relationships. We work hard to understand our clients' concerns and priorities, and as they progress toward new goals, we enhance our professional services to keep pace with their needs. Thus, we have evolved into a highly specialized, globally focused firm, structured to operate as a single, client-responsive unit.
