In addition to its headquarters in Toronto, it also has offices in Montréal, Ottawa, Calgary, and New York.

The firm provides a broad range of legal services to Canadian and multinational corporations. Its strength lies primarily in the area of business law, and is widely recognized for its work in mergers and acquisitions, tax, financial services, competition and anti-trust, and pensions. Osler also has a solid reputation for its other corporate practice areas and its litigation practice (especially class action defence).

The firm was founded in 1882 by Britton Bath Osler, John Hoskin, and several others. Frederick Harcourt became a member of the firm in 1902.
