About Allen / McMillan Litigation Counsel

Allen / McMillan Litigation Counsel, known as AMLC, is a litigation firm based in downtown Vancouver. Greg Allen and Wes McMillan founded it in 2018, starting with four lawyers, and it has since grown into a larger team of litigators, counsel and associates. The practice centres on civil and commercial litigation and administrative and regulatory matters, and the firm appears regularly before the British Columbia Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada on appeals. Its lawyers also handle construction, real estate, employment, estate, defamation and shareholder disputes, and between them the team speaks a total of ten languages.

AMLC has been ranked in the Chambers Canada Guide for three consecutive years, most recently earning a Highly Regarded listing for 2027 in general commercial litigation, with both founding partners also recognized individually. Seven of the firm's lawyers were named to the 2026 editions of Best Lawyers in Canada and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada. The firm keeps an active pro bono practice too, volunteering with Access Pro Bono on cases involving matters of public importance, work that helped it earn a 5 Star Pro Bono Firm listing from Canadian Lawyer in 2024.
