Meet the team

A growing presence in B.C.

Since opening in 2015, our Vancouver office has expanded significantly, leveraging more than a century of MLT Aikins’s western Canadian experience to become a leading business law firm in the city. Our team has welcomed numerous experienced lawyers who understand Vancouver’s market – including the addition of the litigation firm Hakemi & Ridgedale in 2022 – and our growth continues.

Client focus is at the heart of what we do.  MLT Aikins’s commitment to having a physical presence in the cities where our clients reside or do business ensures our team actively supports the communities where we work and live. Through our one-team approach, our local team is backed up and works alongside the experience of the entire firm, with resources drawn from any of our other five western Canadian offices, according to where the skills, experience or technical knowledge reside.
