MLT Aikins is a full-service business law firm of more than 350 lawyers with a deep commitment to Western Canada and an understanding of this market’s unique legal and business landscapes. We are recognized leaders in the areas of energy – primarily carbon capture, utilization and storage, agribusiness: agriculture and food products, representation of Indigenous peoples as well as in corporate commercial and mergers and acquisitions. In addition, our lawyers are equally strong in commercial litigation across a number of practice areas.

Based out of six key centers across the four western provinces, MLT Aikins is the only law firm to have offices in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. As one of the Largest Law Firms in Canada (Lexpert, American Lawyer Media), we have the bench strength and geographic scope to meet the increasingly complex needs of clients – from the personal concerns of individuals to the highly sophisticated and comprehensive requirements of major business enterprises.

Our firm and lawyers consistently receive high rankings for the quality of our work from Chambers Canada, the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory, Best Lawyers in Canada, Legal 500 and Benchmark Canada. Canadian Lawyer Magazine named us one of the top Western Canadian law firms – based on legal excellence and knowledge, service excellence, significant mandates, client base and regional service coverage – and Fortune Magazine lists us as one of its “Go-To Law” Firms. We are the leading law firm in Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the Chambers Canada rankings, and we have been Benchmark Canada’s Saskatchewan Litigation Firm of the Year since 2012.

We provide a high level of focused experience and work collaboratively with the firm’s practice areas to bring our clients the benefits of a full-service law firm.
