From Advisors to Architects: The Expanding Role of Law Firms

February 21, 2025

Canadian Lawyer writes an opinion column on how lawyers today aren’t just legal advisors. They’re business architects, political strategists and crisis navigators. Nowhere is this transformation more evident than in how law firms are responding to the surge in demand triggered by US tariff uncertainty.

Sabrina Bandali’s recent comments in a Canadian Lawyer story on trade are cited as an example of how companies are seeking strategic guidance on rethinking their operations.

Clients that previously came to Bennett Jones’ trade team with “discrete issues” are now posing “existential” questions, says Sabrina. “Do I need to restructure? How do I even begin to review my supply chain? What do I need to know about my business?” clients are asking her.

The full opinion column is available here.
