This seven-year-old firm was formed in
2005 when principal Kimberly Whaley
struck out on her own following a spell
as a partner at all-female firm Dickson
MacGregor Appell LLP. Before that
she was mentored by Rodney Hull,
co-founder of fellow boutique Hull &
Hull LLP. Her estate litigation practice
now boasts six lawyers and a string of
major-trust-company clients, including
BMO Harris Private Banking, Bank of
Nova Scotia Trust Co., RBC Estate and
Trust Services, and the Canada Trust
Co., although most of its clients are individuals. One Bay Streeter gave Whaley
a vote of confidence, calling her part of
a "changing of the guard" in the trusts
and estates field, adding: "I've been
impressed with what they're doing."

years, demand for his services had led to hiring three more
lawyers. Clientele ranges from the local service stations to
large multinational firms, including Canadian National
Railway, Ultramar Ltd., and BFI Usine de triage Lachenaie
Ltd. Daigneault, a former legal counsel to the Quebec
Department of Environment, is the author of the standard
