Bennett Jones is a relatively recent entry into the Vancouver market, which it has taken to with aplomb. “Bennett Jones has made inroads here, they have been very aggressive in their hiring,” ventures one local peer. “They pulled in some good people.” One such hire, David Gruber, is noted for his commercial litigation practice, which has also historically incorporated insolvency aspects, has been viewed by peers as a particularly plum score. Commercial litigator Melanie Teetaert is also cheered as a particularly auspicious hire.
