Field Law’s Calgary office traces its roots back to 1921 and a firm named Shouldice & Brockington. That firm eventually became Atkinson Milvain, which after several mergers became Field Law.

In April 2001, Field Atkinson Perraton gained a home base in the North by merging with the Yellowknife firm Williams & Company. And as Jack Williams tells it, a fishing expedition he made to Field’s Edmonton office helped set the stage for the agreement.
