About SGMFounded in 1974, Sack Goldblatt Mitchell LLP is one of Canada's leading labour law, civil litigation and criminal law firms. We are a progressive law firm, committed to providing the highest quality legal services in a welcoming and accessible environment.

SGM is distinguished by the excellence of its work. Our lawyers are among the most respected litigators in their areas of practice. SGM's lawyers are frequent speakers at seminars and conferences, a number of our lawyers have taught at various law schools and we have written and published extensively within our areas of expertise. We strive to achieve the best results for our clients, delivering high-quality advocacy in a cost-effective manner. To better service our clients, SGM has a legal research team dedicated to assisting the firm’s litigators with all of their research, legal writing and litigation support needs.

In our labour practice, SGM represents a wide variety of trade unions, professional associations and employees in all labour and employment law matters.

Our civil litigators act for a variety of individuals, groups and institutions across a broad spectrum of civil law, including class actions, public interest and Charter of Rights litigation, professional discipline matters, pensions and employee benefits, and administrative and human rights law.

SGM's criminal defence lawyers represent individuals in all types of criminal and quasi-criminal law cases.

SGM is committed to the belief that the practice of law presents unique opportunities to serve the community. The firm is actively engaged in pro bono service across all of its practice groups. The firm's pro bono program serves a wide array of individuals, public service organizations and not-for-profit entities. The pro-bono program at SGM receives the full support of the firm and all of the resources of the firm are at the program's disposal. Every pro bono matter has the direct participation and supervision of a partner. This longstanding commitment of the lawyers at SGM goes back to the firms inception over 30 years ago. In the past, our pro bono work has included accepting briefs on behalf of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Criminal Lawyer's Association, the Canadian Conference of the Arts, welfare rights coalitions, poverty law coalitions, environmental groups, and equality-seeking groups.
