Bennett Jones was founded in Calgary in 1922 with the dissolution of a 25-year partnership between R.B. Bennett and Sir James Alexander Lougheed (Lougheed, Bennett & Company) and the creation of the new partnership Bennett, Hannah & Sanford.^[1]

The firm expanded to Edmonton (1982) and then eastward to Toronto (1989) and Ottawa (1989–95, 2009). In 2018, the firm merged with Vancouver firm McCullough O'Connor Irwin and opened an office in New York.^[10]
