Davis & Company is one of the largest law firms in Western Canada. The firm was established in Vancouver in 1892 by two lawyers, E.P. Davis and D.G. Marshall. The merger of Davis & Company with another small but prominent law firm in 1958 provided the basis for the subsequent substantial increase in the firm's size and range of services.
As of September, 1995 the firm is staffed with 107 lawyers, 12 legal assistants, 14 students and a support staff of 127.
