    Lawyers Who Know Business

    Our lawyers are invested in you and your business. Many of our lawyers had successful business careers prior to joining Aird & Berlis, giving them firsthand experience with the commercial issues our clients face.

    It’s important that we listen to you, understand the history, politics and background of your business as well as any industry-specific issues that might affect you. We promise to listen, be considerate, be receptive to your ideas, and then form our opinions based upon sound due-diligence.
     
    Once we’ve worked out the best strategy with you, we’ll take the time to explain it in as much, or as little, detail as you desire, being as candid, transparent and conscious of your needs as possible. We’ll explain the plan and course of action with you and help you and your team understand the risks associated with each decision. Chances are, we've seen your issue before and can help articulate all the legal niceties around the problem.

    We’re the Best-Kept Secret on Bay Street

    The legal industry is rapidly changing and we’re nimble enough to adapt. While we provide the same expertise and professionalism as Canada's largest law firms, our business model and approach to legal services set us apart.

    We know you look to us to be problem solvers, not just issue identifiers. And that sometimes the best way to do this is simply by being reasonable with the other side. We’re always looking out for your best interests and know that lengthy legal disputes or unnecessarily protracted negotiations are seldom in your favour. We work diligently to move things forward and get the most effective/advantageous results possible.

    What that means is that we put together the best, most efficient and most effective team for your specific needs. In an effort to keep fees down for our clients, we incorporate technology to automate many time consuming legal tasks and use the full breadth of our team to provide expertise on the various elements of your matter.

    Although we’ve grown in size over the years, we take pride in the fact that the lawyer you hire is still the one who works on and oversees your entire matter.

  • You Get the Lawyer You Hired

    This is less common than you might think.

    At Aird & Berlis You Get the Lawyer You Hired

    We understand that your relationship with a law firm starts with the lawyers themselves. It's important that you find the right fit for your business and feel comfortable with your lawyer’s advice, experience and personality. We think we've struck the right balance: what that means to you is a firm that you'll like and want to work with.

    We hire people in part for their intellectual qualities, but also for their personal qualities. This makes for a truly enjoyable team and client experience that leads to long-lasting relationships with our clients.
