Our Defence and Security Industry Group

Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG) recognizes that businesses operating in the defence and security industry sectors routinely encounter complex issues which require a specialized type of legal expertise. For this reason, BLG created a Defence and Security Industry Group comprised of more than 15 lawyers and other professionals who have experience working with defence industry clients in a wide range of areas.

Members of the Defence and Security Industry Group regularly advise defence industry clients with respect to government procurements and bid disputes; export controls and economic sanctions; access to information requests; federal and provincial lobbying rules; joint ventures and teaming agreements; intellectual property rights; as well as various other types of corporate, commercial and litigation matters.

Professionals within the Defence and Security Industry Group have represented defence industry clients before the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Some have also appeared before the Security Intelligence Review Committee and international dispute resolution panels established pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

BLG's commitment to service has resulted in the frequent recognition of many of our legal professionals at home and abroad.
