Affiliations: Meritas, The ARC Group Canada The firm: Tracing its roots back to the firm of Estey Schmitt & Moxon, Robertson Stromberg took its present form in the 1980s under the guidance of Robert Stromberg. He helped position the firm for its involvement in the privatizations of the potash and uranium industries, which the firm has used as a springboard to foster solid relationships with international and national clients. "They are attentive to client needs and never cause any problems," said one Ontario lawyer who refers work to the firm, while a corporate counsel scored them top marks for delivering service "second to none." "We think we punch above our weight," says senior partner Gary Young, who claims the firm's "flat structure" positions it perfectly to capitalize on Saskatchewan's booming economy. "There's no hierarchy here, so you get genuine leadership from lawyers with as little as three years at the bar. It helps us to maintain a constant stream of new ideas." 3 OUR CLIENTS ARE IMPORTANT.
