Our Firm

MacPherson Leslie & Tyerman LLP ("MLT") has a unique culture that emphasizes quality, cost-effective legal services, mutual respect and teamwork. The sophistication of our practice and our national reputation for excellence flow directly from that culture. We work hard to maintain it.

Murdoch Alexander MacPherson, Q.C. originally founded our firm in 1920. Since then, we have grown to become a western Canadian firm with offices in Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon. Although much of our practice is focused in Saskatchewan and Alberta, we have always been actively involved in a variety of assignments in other Canadian jurisdictions, the United States and elsewhere in the world.

Globalization has drawn many of our clients into ventures far beyond the boundaries of western Canada, and we are proud to continue representing them as their business horizons expand. MLT's commitment to client service and depth of experience in the global marketplace are evidenced by our status as a founding member (and the only Saskatchewan representative) of Lex Mundi, an association of over 17,000 lawyers practicing in over 155 jurisdictions worldwide.

MLT has a broad client base that includes individuals, small businesses, governments, public agencies, and major national and international companies. The scope of our clients' legal work regularly leads to our involvement in significant and professionally challenging projects encompassing a wide range of legal issues. MLT's lawyers consistently perform legal work of the type and sophistication usually associated with major firms in larger centres.

A fundamental feature of our practice philosophy is that we see our clients as clients of the firm rather than of individual lawyers. This approach matches the expertise of our lawyers with the particular legal requirements of our clients to ensure that every client receives the best possible advice in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Finally, we see our firm as more than just a business enterprise. Our lawyers are encouraged to participate in professional, community and public service activities outside the firm. Members of our firm play prominent roles on the national stage, and as volunteers with local and national charities, cultural organizations, professional associations, political parties, and professional and amateur sports groups. Members of our firm are well rounded and engaged in rewarding activities with their communities and families.
