Roger Oatley, a past Advocates���
Society president, founded the firm
in 1974 after spending two years
as a defence lawyer. Jim Vigmond,
a former president of the Ontario
Trial Lawyers Association, joined

focused in on a specialized plaintiffs��� practice.��There are 13 lawyers
and around 80 other staff at the
firm, which, apart from its head
office in Barrie, has consultation
offices dotted throughout the province in Toronto, Hamilton, North
Bay, and Sudbury.��Oatley pioneered ���the science of what makes
a jury or judge tick, and has taken
it further than anyone else,��� said

setting the model for the prosecution of large catastrophic claims.
