Stephen Harper, the former prime minister of Canada who lost his Conservative Party majority to Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party last year, has a new gig with Dentons.
For Dentons, affiliating with Harper’s newly formed consultancy may help draw legal advisory business to the firm’s extensive international trade practice. Harper, who resigned from Canada’s parliament a month ago, spearheaded trade agreements with the European Union and South Korea, as well as Canada’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, during his nine-year tenure as prime minister.
