MLT Aikins traces its history to 1879 and Sir James Aikins, and is the product of a merger between MacPherson Leslie & Tyerman and Aikins, MacAulay & Thorvaldson. It has more than 300 lawyers and offices across the four western provinces, including Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg.
The Calgary office opened in 2002 and now has more than 60 lawyers, working in energy and environmental law, intellectual property, commercial litigation, agribusiness, corporate finance and commercial real estate. Lexpert lists the office as most frequently recommended in Aboriginal law and repeatedly recommended in insolvency and restructuring and technology transactions. Typically suits western Canadian businesses that want a single firm across provinces.
Alberta limits some foreign ownership of farmland, farms often carry energy surface leases, and family transfers raise tax questions. A checklist of issues.
