RSS is proud to announce that 24 of its lawyers — almost one-third of the firm — are included in the 2017 edition of the Best Lawyers directory, a major, peer-review-based guide to legal professionals all over the world.
All lawyers who appeared in the previous edition are included again this year. However, the firm’s rating now reflects the addition of Marilyn Piccini Roy, Ad. E., who joined the firm in the fall of 2015.
We are also pleased that three of our lawyers receive special mentions:
- Michel Green, Montréal Lawyer of the Year 2017 in Insurance Law; Mr. Green has also been awarded that title for several practice areas in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016;
- Patrick Henry, Montréal Lawyer of the Year 2017 in Product Liability Law; Mr. Henry was Lawyer of the Year 2012 for Legal Malpractice Law, and in 2014 for Personal Injury Litigation;
- Barry H. Shapiro, 2017 Montréal Lawyer of the Year for Corporate Governance.
As a firm, RSS is also “Top-Listed” in Insurance Law for the province of Quebec as well as the Montréal metropolitan area, and in Transportation Law for the Montréal area.
