Over the past 15 months, Aird & Berlis LLP has been busy overhauling and largely replacing its entire I.T. infrastructure. We’ve installed a new communications platform; network and desktop operating systems; and new servers, PCs and notebook computers. We introduced Web portal technology to allow staff and client access to documents.
Aird & Berlis LLP, located in Toronto, was created with the 1974 merger of two firms: Zimmerman, Grant, Hugo, Paddon, Worley & Bennett (founded in 1919); and Edison, Aird & Berlis (founded in 1953). Today, Aird & Berlis LLP is a full-service Canadian firm, with a diversified national and international practice. The firm has approximately 120 lawyers and 265 support staff. With more than 15 practice and industry groups, we represent some of the world’s largest corporations, as well as a wide array of entrepreneurial businesses, associations, government agencies and individuals.
