Welcome to Pitblado

Video Transcript

Benjamin Hecht: Big sigh. These are extraordinary times. And, it seems like nobody can even remember what it was like before COVID. Everybody in this firm, in this city, in our community, in the world has been impacted by it. And it has left us having to deal with stress, of varying degrees on a daily basis.

Karen Poetker: Over Pitblado’s history, its key to success I’d say is its ability to build relationships with its clients. They are more than clients to us. We are a part of their team and we are their trusted advisors.

Brant Harvey: First and foremost, we recognize the speed at which the world was changing around us. We knew that our clients needed information and communication.

So in response, we created a COVID-19 resource centre. It acted as a toolkit for our clients to rely on, to help them make the decisions that they needed to make. Also internally we adapted, we embraced working from home, new technologies and new way of carrying on business.

Benjamin Hecht: I have nothing but admiration in the team here at Pitblado.

I always had the utmost faith that they would, as they always do, rise to the occasion in order that we could do what we do, which is help our clients and provide services to our clients.

Karen Poetker: Our United Way campaign this year just concluded. And obviously it was different this year than it normally is in that it was a virtual campaign.

Brant Harvey: Pleased to say that we not only met our fundraising goal, but we crushed it.

Benjamin Hecht: If there ever was a year when the United Way needed resources, it was now.

Karen Poetker: To all of Pitblado’s clients, I’d like to thank you for your continued confidence in our firm. And of course we’d like to thank all of the frontline workers and all of our staff at Pitblado for chipping in and working hard during this very difficult time.

Relationship, Respect, Results.

Benjamin Hecht: It’s the way we treat each other and the way we treat our clients. We believe in them and we live them.

Brant Harvey: I’d like to say on behalf of all my partners, lawyers, staff – we wish everybody a safe and healthy holiday season and a happy new year.
