What: Precedent Setter Awards 2016
Where: The Spoke Club, 600 King St. W.
When: June 20, 2016
It’s always one of Precedent’s proudest moments — our annual event to celebrate the winners of the Precedent Setter Awards.
And last week, more than 120 lawyers and guests gathered came out to the Spoke Club in downtown Toronto to honour this year’s winners. It’s the sole chance for the legal community in Toronto to congratulate and mingle with all six winners, who, in their first 10 years of practice, are remaking the profession for the better.
“Each year, we receive so many nominations for this award,” said Precedent’s publisher and editor Melissa Kluger. “And from those nominations, we look for lawyers who’ve done outstanding legal work and been active members of their community.”
This year’s winners definitely delivered: they all boast wicked-smart legal minds that have thrust their careers into overdrive.
Congratulations again to all our winners:
