Governance and Leadership

McCarthy Tétrault’s dynamic governance model and leadership structure deliver the power of the whole firm, wherever we need to be, to best serve our clients. Our lawyers practise within a single, unified partnership under an organizational structure that mirrors those of the organizations we serve.

  • Our partners delegate authority to an elected board of partners.
  • Our leadership team, under the direction of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer, leads and markets the firm's resources to deliver complex, sophisticated, multi-dimensional legal services to its clients.

Our clients benefit from the deep expertise of McCarthy Tétrault’s practice and industry groups. Our team-based environment and efficient management structure enable us to delegate work efficiently, regardless of geographic location or area of expertise, guaranteeing client needs are met quickly and consistently.
