Saint John's law firm since 1929.

Nearly a century in, our motto hasn't changed: we work in your world. What's changed is how easy we've made it to reach us.

Experienced counsel

The lawyers of Gilbert McGloan Gillis have been serving clients since 1929, with more than 70 years of trial and litigation experience.

Compassionate advocates

Our lawyers and staff are champions in the fight for access to justice — for individuals as much as for institutions.

Trusted advisors

Good decisions are made with good advice. We tailor ours to the problem in front of you.

In your world — on your time

One of Saint John's first virtual law offices.

After more than 90 years in uptown Saint John, we moved to a virtual office — and found it made us better at serving clients.

Clients reach us by phone, text or email, and meet us face to face whenever it's necessary or requested. We've also run full proceedings remotely, with multiple lawyers and parties:

  • Trials in the Court of Appeal, the Federal Court and the Court of King's Bench
  • Lengthy pretrial hearings with multiple parties and lawyers
  • Regulatory hearings in other provinces

Why it's better for you

Lower costs

No office rent, law library, furnishings or parking to pass on to clients in the end.

Less travel time

No billing for travel, and no need to take half a day off to see your lawyer.

Available 24/7

Phone, text, email or fax — calls and texts to our main number reach us directly.

Secure files

Your files are ultra-secure and at our fingertips from anywhere.
