One of Canada's largest law firms, Davies Ward Phillips - Vineberg LLP traces its roots back to 1895. The firm results from the February 2001 merger between Davies, Ward - Beck, Toronto and Phillips - Vineberg, Montréal. Independent commentators described the merged firm as "a new legal powerhouse" and "remarkable for its ability to field top-tier practitioners in all of the principal corporate core competency practice areas".
Today we are a single, integrated firm of more than 235 lawyers managing complex and sophisticated commercial and financial matters regardless of borders, from offices in Montr̩al, Toronto and New York, with an affiliate in Paris. Davies Ward Phillips - Vineberg is consistently ranked by independent rating agencies as a market leader in our core practice areas. In 2002, Chambers - Partners named us Canada۪s Business Law Firm of the Year - the first to be so named. Each year since 2007 Davies has also been ranked as the foremost corporate law firm in each of the Toronto and Montr̩al markets for corporate transactions, relative to firm size, by the Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada.
Our lawyers carry on a full-service business law practice, with a particular emphasis on transactional matters such as corporate financing, mergers and acquisitions and restructuring – both public and private – as well as real estate acquisition, disposition, finance and development. Our lawyers have been involved in numerous major and high profile transactions over the years, and we have substantial practices in litigation, taxation and administrative law. We also have an unsurpassed global reputation for international tax structuring, negotiating and drafting joint ventures, and multinational debt restructuring.
We act for a wide range of leading industrial and commercial companies and financial institutions, both public and private, in Canada, the United States and abroad. As well, our clients include governments, regulatory bodies, charitable organizations, international agencies, educational institutions, individuals and trusts and estates. Many clients are directed to us for special-purpose engagements by other North American and international law firms.
We believe that achieving uniform excellence requires focus. Our focus on business law, limiting ourselves to practice areas where we can be best-in-class, has allowed us to maintain consistently high quality. Perhaps that's why the National Post wrote: "When it comes to strength, pound for pound Davies has no peer."
We are true pioneers in multi-jurisdictional practice, being Canada's first international firm. We were the first to open an office in Europe; the first Canadian firm in New York; as well as the first Canadian firm to open an office in Beijing. Our presence in Paris dates back to 1961. Today, through our Parisian correspondent firm, Reinhart Marville Torre, we provide a vital link for many Canadian businesses seeking to operate in France and the European Union and we also assist in meeting the European needs of our international transactions.
Our New York office, opened in 1984, consists of 17 lawyers who practice U.S. law, focusing on corporate/commercial, finance/securities, tax, commercial real estate and trusts and estates law. Our lawyers in New York work seamlessly with their colleagues in Toronto and Montréal to provide truly integrated North American service, efficiently and cost-effectively.
We meet our clients' needs wherever in the world they may exist. Over the years, we have assisted clients in Argentina, Australia, Belize, Brazil, Chile, China, France, Germany, Ghana, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Panama, Russia, Singapore, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
