About

Provided by Bennett Jones LLP

We help IT providers and businesses harness technology through strategic legal guidance on transactions, compliance, and innovation across Canada's digital economy.

The information technology and related computing industries in Canada constitute almost six percent of our nation's total GDP, and it is difficult to think of a business that does not depend on data processing, automated business systems, advanced communications, electronic records, the Internet and some form of e-commerce, and the developing integration of content, communications and computing in convergent transactions. Bennett Jones represents some of the world's largest multinational IT and computing enterprises as well as small businesses that depend upon IT infrastructures.
