About Aust Legal (Aust LLP)
Aust Legal, also known as Aust LLP, is a small business law firm headquartered in Montreal, with a second office in Toronto. Thomas Laporte Aust founded the firm in 2010 after leaving McCarthy Tetrault, one of Canada's national law firms. The firm positions itself as an alternative to the national firm model, and its work centres on mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital financing, due diligence, corporate governance, and executive employment law.
The team is small by design. Alongside the founder, it includes lawyers, of counsel, and two senior advisors who spent decades at other national law firms before joining Aust Legal, plus paralegals and support staff across both offices. The firm operates in English and French. It also publishes a running list of client transactions it has advised on, spanning acquisitions, financings, and corporate reorganizations for companies in technology, health services, and industrial sectors.
