Experience
Vance Langford has over 20 years experience working as a commercial lawyer in energy, construction, technology, manufacturing, service and other industries.
We have supported clients in Alberta and around the world with effective legal advice. We have counselled many multinationals on doing business in Canada. We have experience with many types of business organizations and transactions.
Our real strength and differentiator is experience with cross-border transactions. There are certain elements of the deal, intangible factors and communication signals that are unique to international business. There are also technical differences when it comes to trade, foreign investment and competition laws that must be understood. We have that experience.
