This Alberta boutique was founded in 1978 after Calgary tax lawyer Brian Felesky
and Edmonton's Gordon Flynn during a flight hatched the idea of launching a
regional tax boutique, but their reputation stretches far beyond the province.
Recently, the firm has carved an even finer niche for itself in butterfly transactions,
where large companies are broken up into smaller pieces, leading the tax planning
for clients in two of the largest such deals in Canadian history. Flynn is one of a
number of the firm's 32 lawyers who double as professional accountants.
Formed in 1996 by Jack Millar and Robert
Kreklewetz, the firm is small, but has laser-beam
focus, working exclusively on tax, trade, GST/HST,
and customs matters. And since they don't do income
tax, the firm often receives referrals from other tax
specialists. It has represented clients in tax and trade
litigation before all levels of court, including before
the Tax Court of Canada, the Canadian International
Trade Tribunal, the Federal Court and Federal Court
of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada. The
firm also runs a "Tax & Trade Blog."
One respondent said Millar Kreklewetz was best in
the country when it comes to GST/HST work, while
another praised the firm's work on both tax planning
and representation.
