We are proud to be one of Canada’s leading law firms, serving clients across Canada and around the world. We provide strategic legal advice on business, regulatory, constitutional, administrative law and public policy matters. Our lawyers and intellectual property professionals represent domestic and international clients, including multinational corporations, startups, individuals, governments and Indigenous nations.
The people are the difference at Aird & Berlis. We look for critical thinkers, patient listeners and lawyers who are not only highly skilled at practising law, but are astute business people who leverage opportunities and solve complex problems for our clients.
The business world is always changing and we endeavour to keep our clients current and connected through a variety of publications, webinars, blogs and insights.
Today, we celebrate the franchise model as a powerful driver of entrepreneurship and recognize the franchisees, franchisors and advisors who contribute to economic growth and thriving communities around the world.
In recognition of World Franchise Day, Jennifer Shayko, Partner and Leader of our Franchising Group, is pleased to announce her new video series, "Franchise Law With Jennifer Shayko."
The series aims to provide practical insights into key areas of franchise law in Canada. The first instalment will explore the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000 through a multi-part series designed to help franchisors, franchisees and industry professionals better understand its requirements and implications.
We hope you'll join us in celebrating the people and businesses behind franchising today and every day.
