Hamilton redefined
When Gowling WLG opened its doors in Hamilton in 1995, the Steel City was on the brink of a remarkable transformation. Fast forward to today, Hamilton is a thriving hub of innovation and opportunity, home to future-focused industries such as advanced manufacturing, health sciences, education, biotech, and transportation.
As Hamilton’s largest—and only—international law firm, we’ve not only witnessed this transformation; we’ve helped drive it. A trusted partner to businesses of all sizes and types, we’re known for turning big ideas into reality, delivering holistic strategies that drive growth, overcome difficult obstacles and anticipate what’s next.
With these goals top of mind, our team of over 50 legal professionals offers a rich suite of services in corporate and commercial law, intellectual property, real estate, lending and insolvency, among other areas. Our capabilities also extend to dispute resolution and litigation, with broad experience in arbitration and other critical advocacy services.
What else sets us apart? Our unique blend of local commitment and global reach. Deeply entrenched in Hamilton’s community and economy, we’re also backed by the strength of a global law firm with over 1,500 professionals in 20 international cities—connecting our neighbours to a world of opportunity.
