The firm offers full-service legal support in all major aspects of business law, advocacy/litigation and intellectual property law, with expertise in dozens of practice areas and industries. On July 8, 2015, Gowlings announced that it will be joining forces〔"Gowlings joins forces with Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co to launch new international law firm: Gowling WLG." http://www.gowlings.com/News/news.asp?newsID=983&lang=0〕 with Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co, a leading U.K. law firm, to create a new international law firm called Gowling WLG. The new firm will launch in January 2016. ==History== Gowlings traces its origins to the firm Henderson & McVeity, which was founded in Ottawa in 1887.〔The predecessor firm of Henderson & McVeity was MacTavish and MacCracken, founded in 1877. George F. Henderson and MacCracken became partners in 1889.〕 As the firm grew over the next century, its name passed through numerous permutations, but three figures remained dominant: Gordon Gowling, George and Gordon Henderson. In the 1980s, the firm expanded beyond its traditional Ottawa base, establishing offices in Toronto, Kitchener, and Moscow. Starting in the mid-1990s, Gowlings methodically solidified a national platform through a succession of mergers with other law firms in Vancouver, Hamilton, Calgary, Montréal and Toronto. The firm eventually adopted the simple brand name "Gowlings" (which had long been in informal use). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gowlings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
