About Affleck Greene McMurtry LLP

Affleck Greene McMurtry LLP (AGM) is a litigation firm at 365 Bay Street in Toronto's Financial District. The firm traces back to 1992, when founding partner Donald Affleck and colleagues left what was then Fasken Calvin MacKenzie Williston & Swackhamer to start a new practice called Kelly Affleck Greene. That firm became Affleck Greene McMurtry LLP in 2003. Affleck, a University of Toronto law graduate, spent a career in competition law, co-writing the book Canadian Competition Law and serving as chief counsel to the Royal Commission on Newspapers from 1980 to 1982. Affleck stayed connected to the firm until dying in 2017.

AGM today has 12 lawyers who represent businesses and organizations in commercial, competition, and regulatory disputes, and its lawyers have also acted for individuals in employment litigation and other matters. Its litigators appear before all levels of court in Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada, as well as tribunals such as the Competition Tribunal and the Ontario Securities Commission. The firm publishes its own commentary blog, The Litigator, on developments in Canadian business law, and one of its lawyers currently serves as President of The Advocates' Society, a national association of litigation counsel with more than 6,000 members.
