Overview

BCF’s story begins with eight visionaries, pioneers who dared to dream big. Thirty years ago, our founders combined their expertise so they could practice law differently. Since then, their ambition has been passed down from generation to generation, making BCF a benchmark in both the legal and business worlds. Today, we still wake up every morning with the same goal: to build a practice that combines innovation and commitment so we can better serve business leaders.

We are recognized among Québec’s leading independent law firms. Our innovative positioning and integrated approach, where law meets business, attract ambitious businesses and legal talent who share our vision. After establishing our presence in Montréal and Québec City, opening our Paris intellectual property office in 2018 was a natural move: a way to expand our impact, meet growing demand, and deliver integrated solutions to the leaders shaping the economy both locally and abroad.

BCF is the go-to choice for leaders seeking an integrated advisory practice that merges legal precision with business strategy to drive organizational prosperity. With a team of over 600 people, including 320 legal professionals, we dare to break new ground, helping you anticipate risks and craft bold strategies when it matters most.

We help you reach your objectives by providing pragmatic and forward-thinking solutions. Our clients’ success is our success. Together, we seize the moment to define the future.
