BLG Beyond - AUM Law 

AUM Law  is an established Canadian law firm focused on serving securities registrants by advising on a wide range of regulatory compliance.  We support clients in this sector by providing legal advice and services ranging from start-up to initial registration and compliance systems, through to on-going advice on regulatory and business matters that arise in the course of a securities registrant’s life.  We have developed unique service offerings for our clients and focus on providing expert advice in a cost-effective, efficient and forward-looking manner.

We are looking for lawyers with a strong interest in advising our clients in the asset management industry on how to get started, get registered and meet their ongoing obligations as registrants, while growing their business. A service-oriented mindset is vital, as is an interest in helping our clients understand the regulatory landscape.  Experience in this area will be an asset, but not critical.
