Brisset Bishop (Montreal)
Tracing its roots back to 1885 — when Albert Atwater left the partnership of the firm that became Ogilvy Renault LLP — this boutique currently consists of six lawyers. Jean Brisset joined the firm in 1935 and remained with it until his death in 1991, while Trevor Bishop joined in 1957 and remained until his recent retirement. Its key clients include the Fednav Group and Canfornav Inc., two of Canada's largest ship operators. It also represents many P&I clubs, the insurance companies for the shipping industry. www.brissetbishop.com
Fernandes Hearn LLP (Toronto)
This boutique came on the scene in 1996, when Rui Fernandes and Gordon Hearn left Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP. Maritime law is a major component of its general transportation law practice, which also deals with matters involving aviation, trucking, and rail carriage. Its nine lawyers serve key clients such as Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance, Allianz Insurance, Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, JEVCO Insurance Co., NYK Logistics, Quik X Transportation Inc., and Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours. Fernandes has helped solidify the firm's strong reputation by publishing five texts on transporta- tion law. www.fernandeshearn.com
