Hunter Litigation Chambers Many consider this 18-lawyer Vancouver litigation shop the best in the coun- try. One lawyer says the firm owes its success to the work of three "primo" litigators who call it home, namely John Hunter, William Berardino, and Kenneth McEwan. The firm acts for Imperial Tobacco in its matters against the B.C. government, and forestry companies Western Forest Products Inc. and Canfor Corp. are two top clients. Meanwhile, Hunter recently repre- sented the Law Society of Yukon in its Supreme Court of Canada case on an issue relating to the withdrawal of counsel. www.litigationchambers.com Lax O'Sullivan Scott LLP Now housing 13 lawyers, this firm has amassed a sterling reputation since its establishment in 1997, representing a slew of notable clients. Shaw Communications, British American Tobacco, Enbridge Inc., the board of directors of General Motors of Canada, and law firms such as Blakes and McCarthys have all relied on the firm's expertise. One of its founding partners, Justice Eleanore Cronk, is now a judge of the Ontario Court of Appeal. www.counsel-toronto.com Lerners LLP While this firm has a London, Ont., office that operates as a full-service shop, its Toronto branch is a litigation boutique that has grown out of the work of Earl Cherniak. He was pulled to Toronto in 1987 due to demand for his expertise, bring- ing a few juniors along for the ride. The office has now grown to 45 lawyers, and worked on major cases including the seminal employment law case Honda Canada Inc. v. Keays at the Supreme Court of Canada. www.lerners.ca HILL SOKALSKI VINCENT WALSH TRIPPIER The rm carries on a legal practice that concentrates on providing litigation, arbitration and dispute resolution services to local, national and international clients.
