the firm: RSS was founded in 1921 by Benjamin Rob-
inson and Joseph Shapiro. Their sons, Jonathan
Robinson and Barry Shapiro, still practise at RSS.
Until the arrival of Claude-Armand Sheppard in
1959, the firm served a primarily anglophone busi-
ness clientele. Since the early 1960s, the firm has
diversified to become a full service law firm with
an increasing number of important francophone
and Quebec-based business clients.
"Full service. Superb lawyers," offers up one
respondent.
