Lang Michener LLP was a Canadian full-service national law firm, once employing over 200 lawyers with offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Hong Kong.
By 1986 the firm, then formally known as Lang, Michener, Cranston, Farquharson & Wright, and numbering 82 lawyers, merged with the 27-lawyer Toronto firm Lash, Johnston, Sheard and Pringle, to form Lang Michener Lash Johnston.
The first Lang & Michener office was in the Canadian National Building at 347 Bay Street.
The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien practiced with Lang Michener from 1986 to 1990, and Michel Bastarache, of the Ottawa office, was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada in 1997.
