C a n a D I a n L a w y e r m a g . c o m Hull & Hull LLP (Toronto] hullandhull.com Legacy Tax + Trust Lawyers (Vancouver) legacylawyers.com Hull & Hull began its rise to the top of the trusts and estates bar when the late Rodney Hull and his son Ian hung their shingle in the early 1990s. Rodney became one of the most respected estates lawyers in Canada, receiving the Ontario Bar Association wills and trusts section's award of excellence in 2005 and the Law Society Medal in 2007. The firm, now led by Ian and man- aging partner Suzana Popovic-Montag, currently lists 16 lawyers under its banner. Many respondents were impressed by the firm's litigation experience. "The lawyers in this firm are friendly, communicate well with clients and most of all, they are in the forefront and well respect- ed by the judiciary," said one voter. Four of this boutique's seven founding principals still practise at its Vancouver office 14 years after its 2000 launch. Two — jus- tices Sandra Ballance and Jane Dardi — now sit on the bench of the British Columbia Supreme Court and one — Gordon B. MacRae — has just retired. The firm has grown to 20 lawyers, with a focus on private clients and owner-managed businesses. The firm has a strong focus on representing charities and not-for-profits as well as ongoing tax planning and litigation, as well as estates and trusts work, including succession planning, for individuals and family owned businesses. "I have worked with lawyers at Legacy on mutual clients or on opposing sides," wrote a respondent. "They are knowledgeable and I would recommend them should there be a conflict." We are delighted to have been selected as one of Canadian Lawyer's Top 5 Trusts & Estates Boutiques. Thank you to our peers for their support and confidence.
