Bennett Mounteer LLP

About Bennett Mounteer LLP

Bennett Mounteer LLP is a small litigation firm in downtown Vancouver that has practiced exclusively in class actions and complex civil litigation since 2003. It was previously known as Hordo Bennett Mounteer LLP, and its lawyers' email addresses still carry the older hbmlaw.com domain. The firm says it has represented clients in more than 40 class actions and secured more than 100 reported decisions, work that both Lexpert and Best Lawyers in Canada have ranked among class action counsel in the province.

The team works from an office on Homer Street and takes cases in provinces beyond British Columbia, including Alberta and Manitoba, where its senior lawyers are also called to the bar. Rather than a general practice, Bennett Mounteer describes a team-based approach in which every lawyer devotes the bulk of their time to complex litigation problems: commercial disputes, class actions, products liability, administrative law, and catastrophic personal injury claims. The firm also notes that it maintains trial readiness even though most class actions settle before reaching a courtroom, and that other law firms refer co-counsel work to it because of that focus.
