BD&P Named One of Canada’s Top Small and Medium Employers for 2026 for the Second Year in a Row

Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP (BD&P) is proud to announce that we have been recognized as one of Canada’s Top Small and Medium Employers for 2026, marking our second consecutive year receiving this national distinction. This recognition reflects our continued commitment to fostering a workplace where people feel respected, supported, and empowered to do their best work.

Canada’s Top Small and Medium Employers recognizes organizations across the country that demonstrate excellence in workplace culture, employee wellbeing, and people focused policies. For BD&P, this recognition speaks to the firm’s focus on building a workplace that supports strong teamwork and enables consistent, high quality client service.

Why BD&P? Investing in Our People

BD&P’s culture is built on meaningful action, not just words. We strive to show appreciation for our people in tangible ways that recognize their contributions and support their lives both inside and outside the office.

“What I love about working at BD&P is that the Firm doesn’t just say that they value the support staff. They show it through actions. For example, work anniversary flowers, Staff Appreciation Week, matching RRSP contributions. I have worked in companies that claim to value employees but that claim begins and ends with words on a website. BD&P walks the talk.”
- Legal Research Specialist

At BD&P, we believe a strong firm is built by investing in people. We focus on creating an environment that encourages learning, engagement, and shared ownership of the firm’s future. By supporting both professional development and overall wellbeing, BD&P fosters a workplace where people feel empowered to do their best work and grow over the course of their careers.

A Culture Rooted in Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork

BD&P is known for its supportive, collaborative environment where individuals are encouraged to succeed. Even as the firm evolves, the principles that define our culture remain constant.

“BD&P is a fantastic place to work because of its supportive and team focused vibe, where everyone helps each other succeed. Even with changes over the years, the firm’s core values of respect and integrity have stayed strong, making it a great and empowering environment.”

Across the firm, our teams benefit from a workplace built on trust, accountability, and a shared commitment to doing meaningful work together.

Community Connection and Wellbeing

BD&P is committed to supporting employee wellness and community. The firm promotes a healthy workplace through monthly meditation and fitness classes, mental health support through its benefits plan, and programming dedicated to physical, mental, and social wellbeing.

Employees are also encouraged to engage with the broader community. The firm incorporates employee feedback when selecting charitable initiatives and provides opportunities for support staff to apply for temporary secondments with the United Way of Calgary and Area.

Looking Toward What's Next

Being named one of Canada’s Top Small and Medium Employers again in 2026 is a significant milestone for BD&P. It recognizes the dedication of our people and the culture we continue to build together.

We are proud of this achievement and grateful to everyone who contributes to making BD&P a workplace defined by collaboration, trust, integrity, and excellence.
