Firm Profile
As a full-service law firm, Davis LLP provides a comprehensive range of legal services to clients around the world through our seven offices in Canada (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary, Whitehorse and Yellowknife), and one in Tokyo, Japan. Established in Vancouver in 1892, the firm has more than 220 lawyers working in integrated practice groups that focus on the highest levels of client service and specialisation. Davis adds value to its clients’ enterprises by helping them achieve their business objectives and by resolving their business problems quickly and effectively.
With over a century of successful experience representing financial, corporate and government organisations across all markets, Davis is strong in all of the traditional areas of law including, but not limited to: banking and finance, corporate/commercial law, securities and capital markets, international trade and business transactions, insolvency and financial restructuring, taxation, competition & antitrust, complex litigation, alternative dispute resolution, real estate development and financing, employment and labour relations, and human rights law. Davis also offers the knowledge base of our broad array of innovative practice groups and integrated specialties such as projects, infrastructure & P3, climate change/renewable energy, and video games and interactive entertainment.
Our practice groups are coordinated into cross-disciplinary teams of specialists who are capable of directing formidable resources to particular areas of law, specific industries, and selected nations or regions as required. Our approach is to organise our resources in order to provide clients with the depth and expertise characteristic of a highly-specialised boutique firm, along with the breadth and capability of a large, full-service national firm.
Davis lawyers and professional staff embody an entrepreneurial spirit that creates an environment focussed on client satisfaction. Our professional approach includes advising clients of business opportunities and economic/political developments, initiating activities, introducing clients to potential business partners and independently developing new commercial structures and strategies which add value to our clients’ affairs. By leveraging our contact base, uncovering new business opportunities and successfully handling conflict resolution, we keep our clients a step ahead. As a testament of our expertise, Davis and its lawyers are continuously recognised as leaders in numerous domestic and international ratings publications.
Davis’ creativity, commitment to diversity and innovative approach to legal services has allowed us to forge groundbreaking connections with our clients and has made us pioneers in several areas. Davis is the only law firm based in Western Canada to establish a national presence with offices in each of Canada’s major business centres and the North, is the first non-Quebec based law firms to establish a practice in Montreal and is the first and only national Canadian law firm that offers service to First Nations peoples in British Columbia, Alberta and the three northern
territories.
Over the past 50 years, Davis has also developed Canada’s strongest legal practice focussed on Japan. We have lawyers who speak Japanese fluently and are unique among Canadian law firms in our ability to represent Japanese clients in Canada, Canadian clients in Japan and international clients in both countries. Davis remains the first and only Canadian law firm with an office in Japan.
