As a lifelong resident of Metro Vancouver, Scott Wilson possesses a deep understanding of the region's diverse industries and key economic drivers. Wilson's institutional knowledge forms the foundation for his new role as Managing Partner of Dentons Canada’s Vancouver office.
A partner and former leader of the Firm’s Vancouver Real Estate group, Wilson has extensive expertise advising clients on all aspects of their commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, financings, dispositions, leasing, marketing and project sales. Known for his pragmatic approach to handling time-sensitive and complex matters, Wilson is highly regarded by clients and peers alike.
“I am honoured to step into the role of Office Managing Partner and collaborate with our talented Vancouver team to drive our Firm’s success forward,” Wilson says. "Empowering people around me is an essential component to how I lead. I want every voice in the room to be heard. It’s through interactive discussions and coordinated approaches that we find the most innovative solutions for our clients," Wilson explains.
Wilson heads up a Vancouver team with deep roots in the community dating back to 1980 that now features a bench strength of more than 80 practicing lawyers comprised of industry-recognized experts in all areas of business law.
Dentons’ position as Canada’s Global Law Firm is bolstered by its presence in more than 80 countries. The Firm capitalizes on its national strength with offices in Canada’s key economic centers—Calgary, Edmonton, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver— as well as on its expansive global reach, to provide a tailored experience for clients to help them grow, protect, operate and finance their business, wherever it takes them.
Dentons has earned its reputation by providing bespoke legal services that drive client success. Wilson is committed to maintaining that standard, “We pride ourselves on our proactive approach. It’s not just about responding to client needs; it’s about anticipating them.”
In looking at current market trends and the Canadian economy as a whole, Wilson cites one main differentiator regarding how Dentons can support businesses operating in British Columbia: by being both a legal and business partner, the Firm provides clients with tailored strategies and advice which are designed to withstand market fluctuations, and offer stability and durability.
