| ==History== | |||
| Miller Thomson was founded on Canada's 90th birthday – July 1, 1957 – by six lawyers who decided to leave a large firm and establish their own firm which was then known as Miller, Thomson, Hicks & Sedgewick. The original partners were J. A. F. Miller, Q.C., J. H. Thomson, Q.C., R. V. Hicks, Q.C., R. M. Sedgewick, C. W. Lewis, and J. Wilfred Healy. | |||
| Today, their namesake has grown and evolved into one of the largest law firms in Canada. Through a series of strategic mergers, the firm has expanded to 12 offices and close to 550 lawyers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.millerthomson.com/en/our-firm/history/|title=History|website=Miller Thomson LLP|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-06}}</ref> | |||
