"The moment we put the team in place, the firm really took off," Russo explains. "I hate to say this, but the second we got lawyers out of the day-to-day business of law, and they focused on their clients and on providing client service, it paid off in dividends quite quickly." Pallett Valo's distinctive advantages: • consistent referrals from prominent law firms • "right-sized thinking" approach to service that includes the right expertise, leader- ship, value, and balance • longevity: the firm celebrates its 75th anni- versary in 2023 WeirFoulds' strength lies in its ability to outshine the competition in a variety of prac- tice areas, and its entrepreneurial focus. "We're really built to work with the entrepreneurial client, and we take those skills and apply those to the institutional clients we have as well, so I think we bring a [slightly] different perspective because of that," Egan notes. "Another driver of our success is our will- ingness to invest in those areas that either need further support or are growing at a rate that means they need people added to keep up with the workload." Areas of expertise where WeirFoulds is prospering: • growth in wills and estates sector • commercial litigation • hiring practices and integrating new lawyers into the firm ONTARIO LAW FIRMS 2023-24 Top
