Bennett Jones was founded in Calgary in 1922 and says it has been part of the city’s business life for more than a century. Its early history is tied to R.B. Bennett, who went on to become Canada’s 11th prime minister, and the firm remains the principal legal advisor to the Calgary Stampede.
The Calgary office, in Bankers Hall East, offers corporate, litigation, regulatory and environmental, and tax services. The firm says its lawyers drafted some of the first oil field contracts after the 1947 Leduc discovery, and energy, mining, funds and finance, and capital projects are among its major practice areas. It also has offices elsewhere in Canada and in New York. Its work is aimed at companies, investors and institutions rather than individual consumer matters.
