At a gala reception held on March 31, 2014, in New York City, partner Larry Weinberg was named franchise law's worldwide "Lawyer of the Year 2014" by UK-based Who's Who Legal, which notes: "[Larry] garnered an incredible number of recommendations from fellow practitioners around the globe. Clients value his 'business acumen' and peers praise his 'extremely sophisticated approach' and 'unparalleled knowledge and experience'." Larry was one of only four Canadians honoured at this year's ceremony, which celebrated the world's leading practitioners in 35 various practice areas.
Both Larry Weinberg and Geoff Shaw, partners based in the firm's Toronto office, have been named "2014 Legal Eagles" by The Franchise Times, a well respected US-based industry publication.
