MacPherson Leslie & Tyerman LLP's practice extends from the more traditional areas of business law (such as corporate and project financing, mergers and acquisitions, insolvency, commercial litigation, labour and employment law and tax) to developing areas like Aboriginal law, and the law relating to agribusiness and information technology.

Consistent with Western Canada's resource-rich economic base, MLT also has extensive experience in all aspects of natural resources law, including large-scale acquisitions, debt and equity financing transactions, and joint venture enterprises.

An important aspect of MLT's client-centered practice philosophy is that the resources of the entire firm are made available to each and every client. This is our way of ensuring that the most qualified and cost-effective lawyer is made available to service each client's legal needs. One lawyer is assigned responsibility to act as the principal point of contact to identify a client's legal issues, marshal the appropriate professional resources and ensure delivery of our services in a timely and efficient manner.

One of MLT's significant strengths is our ability to quickly assemble a strong and experienced team, allowing us to respond to client needs promptly and efficiently. We are also accustomed to working away from our offices. By taking advantage of today's technology we are available to our clients where and when they need us.

We are, like many law firms, organized into practice groups based on recognized legal disciplines. In order to best service our clients we also build teams and practice groups to address specific needs, and which recognize that the best legal services require an equal measure of business and legal sense.

We also recognize that, in order to deliver a high level of service to our clients, it is necessary to become familiar with their business and the issues that they face. We realize that all enterprises are unique. We view ourselves as part of our clients' business teams, and work proactively to develop innovative approaches to success.
