 | Blakes has proudly served many of Canada’s and the world’s leading businesses and organizations. The Firm has built a reputation during that time as both a leader in the business community and in the legal profession – leadership that continues to be recognized to this day.
Blakes has launched a variety of initiatives in recognition of the fact that equity and diversity are critical priorities for their current and future success. It starts with Blakes Equity and Diversity Committee, an operating committee that includes Partners and Associates from diverse backgrounds in all offices. While overseeing a Workplace Harassment Policy that ensures everyone is treated with respect and dignity, the committee is also a proactive force in the Firm. The committee works to ensure Blakes attracts and retains highly skilled lawyers and other legal and non-legal staff who fully reflect the global marketplace.
From a small firm of just two lawyers to more than 500 in nine offices worldwide, 2006 marked a rare milestone for any organization — 150 years of successful growth and market leadership on behalf of its clients around the world. |
