Full-service law firm with cross-border presence and digitization initiatives
McCarthy Tétrault operates a 1,000+ person law practice across Canada, New York, and London, built on a collaborative model serving Canadian and international clients. The firm is mid-cycle through a digital transformation (finance digitization, legal project management tools, alternative fee arrangements) while managing structural constraints: bilingual staffing gaps and proposal bottlenecks appear repeatedly in their pain-point list, suggesting operational scaling is outpacing internal process modernization.
