History
On March 1, 2000, the law firms of Howard, Mackie of Calgary, McMaster Gervais of Montreal, Scott & Aylen of Ottawa, Borden & Elliot of Toronto and Ladner Downs of Vancouver merged to create BLG.
In July 2002, BLG strengthened its corporate securities practice with the acquisition of the Calgary-based law firm Armstrong Perkins Hudson LLP —the then largest securities boutique in Western Canada.
In 2003, BLG added its sixth office when it was joined by the lawyers from Armstrong & Associates in Waterloo Region. The firm was a Waterloo Region intellectual property law boutique. Recently, in January 2008, the firm of Shortt Hanbridge Richardson and Welch joined the Waterloo Region office of BLG.
