Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP ( doing business as Fasken) is an international business law firm with approximately 925 lawyers and offices in Vancouver, Surrey, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec City, London and Johannesburg. [2] The firm traces its origins to a predecessor firm that was originally founded in 1863. [3] On 29 November 2017, the firm announced that it was changing its brand name from Fasken Martineau to Fasken. [4]
History
Fasken is the result of a merger between three predecessor firms – Fasken Campbell Godfrey, Martineau Walker, and Russell & DuMoulin. Fasken Campbell Godfrey in Toronto was formed from the 1989 merger of two long-standing Toronto firms, Fasken & Calvin (which began as Beatty and Chadwick, founded in 1863 by William Henry Beatty and Edward Marion Chadwick) [5] and Campbell Godfrey & Lewtas (which began as Howland & Arnoldi in the 1880s). Martineau Walker in Montreal dates from 1907, while Russell & DuMoulin in Vancouver dates from 1882.
In late 1999, Toronto-based Fasken Campbell Godfrey and Quebec-based Martineau Walker (of Montreal and Quebec City) joined together, forming Fasken Martineau. In February 2000, Vancouver-based Russell & DuMoulin joined the group to create Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP. [6]
