We know that Lenczner Slaght demands the best when it comes to litigation. After attending their 20th anniversary party last week at the new Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto, we now know that they hold their parties to the same high standard. Hundreds of lawyers made for a large crowd in the hotel’s third floor ballroom, spilling out onto a large patio overlooking University Avenue. It was a who’s who of the city’s top litigators, as well as judges and Law Society benchers (plus a few magazine editors). Guests remarked that it felt a lot like the Advocates’ Society end-of-term dinner. But with more schmoozing and less dinner.
Shangri-La staff were super classy and served up some pretty delicious appetizers (including one that looked like a tray full of hot peppers, which were actually sweet). Given its location and its class, the hotel is likely to become a popular go-to spot for events in the legal community. When that happens, you can just call it Shangri-Law.
Our photographer Yvonne Bambrick got great pictures of the night. Check them out!
