As of March 28, 2013, Fraser Milner Casgrain combined with Salans and SNR Denton to form Dentons.

Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC) was a Canadian business, litigation, and a tax law firm. With more than 560 lawyers (175 litigators), it was the sixth largest law firm in Canada as well as the largest law firm in Western Canada.[1] Until 1984, FMC was a fully integrated national partnership with offices in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. In 1985, Fraser Milner Casgrain (then known as Fraser and Beatty) underwent a major administration change. Terrence Young was appointed as chief executive officer, and he initiated FMC's expansion into Hong Kong, making FMC a multi-national law firm.[2] Young was CEO for 13 years, until the 1998 merger between Fraser and Beatty and Alberta-based law firm Milner Fenerty.[3] On November 8, 2012, it was announced that FMC would combine with international law firms SNR Denton and Salans to form Dentons.[4][5] FMC's most recent CEO before its second merger was Michel Brunet. He was appointed as CEO in 2006 and was the managing partner of the FMC Montreal office.
