There is a Reflection Room in each of our offices–a private space to observe religious or cultural beliefs, meditate, or take a mental health break.

Our Transgender Inclusivity and Accommodation Policy provides guidance so we can best support, respect and accommodate trans individuals. Along with the policy rollout, we created all-gender washrooms and made changes to our dress policy and training.

BLG's People (and why they love working here)

Rick Lam Law Clerk, Insurance & Tort Liability Group

“I’ve been with BLG for 15 years. I love it because I get to work with intelligent and good people. The work is diverse and interesting, with lots to learn every day. We are a close group, which makes coming into the office enjoyable. I like the type of work I do as well as the people I get to work with.”

Julie Peacock-Singh Law Clerk, Commercial Litigation Group

“From my first day here, I realized that BLG is a top-notch firm that treats its employees, regardless of title, as professionals. After working on a five-week trial, I was nominated by some of the lawyers on the team for a BLG service award. A firm-wide email was sent to recognize all of the nominees. It made me feel valued and appreciated.”

Laurie LeChasseur Law Clerk, Commercial Real Estate Group

“I started at BLG almost 17 years ago and have advanced from the role of assistant/clerk to full-time real estate clerk. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by the best in our field. We have a great work environment which includes sharing our talents to continually improve, mentoring, building client relationships and community involvement.”

Carmen Marolla Paralegal, Commercial Litigation Group

“I’ve worked at BLG for 23 years, since being hired for my practicum placement. What I enjoy most is having access to the vast experience and knowledge of my colleagues. Whether in person or electronically, the best advice is always within reach. I recommend working at BLG because of its commitment to ongoing career development for all its professionals.”
