A forward-thinking approach since the office first opened The Toronto office launched in 1971 with an audacious choice for lead partner: John Robarts, the well-known former premier of Ontario. This entry into the Toronto market gained immediate notice from other, more established Bay Street firms. The firm grew quickly with the addition of new clients and lawyers – many of whom were attracted to the firm’s entrepreneurial character. By the close of the decade, the firm had 30 lawyers operating out of the landmark Commerce Court building, and Stikeman Elliott was widely recognized as a growing force in the Canadian legal market. Today, the number of lawyers in the Toronto office has increased significantly – all providing innovative solutions and expert counsel to clients on even the most complex issues.
