Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper now has a new job.

Harper and his firm, Harper & Associates Consulting, will be working out of the Dentons Calgary office as a consultant for the company and their top clients.

"Mr. Harper's experience as a G-7 leader will provide invaluable perspective for our clients and our team,” said Elliott Portnoy, Dentons' Global Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Harper served as the Prime Minister of Canada for nearly ten years, from February 6, 2006, to November 4, 2015.

Dentons, the world's largest law firm, already employs former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, former US Ambassador to Canada Gordon Giffin, former Canadian Ambassador to the United States Gary Doer and many other high profile team members.

I’m very pleased to announce today that my firm, Harper & Associates, is launching a strategic affiliation with Dentons, the world’s largest law firm. Dentons is a dynamic, global firm that is uniquely able to help clients through its expansive reach and capacity across a range of legal and business services. I am excited to announce my strategic affiliation with Dentons, and look forward to helping clients from around the world enter new markets, manage geopolitical and economic risk, and maximize value.
