Gowling WLG is a big, international law firm. It was created in February 2016 when two law firms joined together. One firm, Gowlings, was from Canada. The other, Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co, was from the UK. This was the first time a British and a Canadian law firm merged to form one big international company.
Gowling WLG is known as one of the top law firms. In 2020, it was ranked 16th on The Lawyer UK 200 list of best law firms.
Gowling WLG International Limited is a company based in England. It has two main parts, called "limited liability partnerships," one for Canada and one for the UK. These two parts work together to offer legal help. They are financially separate, meaning they manage their own money. This setup helps make sure that the right people are responsible for legal cases in each country.
