Congratulations to Marie Lussier who has been recognized as a leading Trademark lawyer by World Trademark Review. The WTR 1000 has established itself as the definitive ‘go-to’ resource for those seeking world-class legal trademark expertise.

Our Associates spent the afternoon volunteering with Pro Bono Ontario‘s Free Legal Advice Hotline, providing important services to individuals who have essential legal needs but cannot afford a lawyer. By volunteering their time and answering calls on on the legal advice hotline, our firm was able to help make a difference in ensuring Ontarians can access the legal help they need!

We are thrilled to announce that Nina Perfetto, has been awarded the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal.

This honour is bestowed upon a select group of individuals who have made a significant contribution to Canada, a particular province, territory, region, or community within Canada, or who have achieved outstanding accomplishments abroad that bring credit to Canada.

As a sought-after litigator, Nina’s professional accomplishments, coupled with her dedication to her community have earned her this recognition.  Nina was one of 20 recipients nominated by Senator Toni Varone and was presented with the medal at a ceremony on January 19, 2025.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of our Partner, friend and colleague, David Thiel. David passed away on September 29, 2024.

David joined us at Fogler, Rubinoff LLP in December 2005, from the firm Pacey, Dirks & Thiel LLP. Over the years, he became a trusted leader in the condominium law bar, often stepping in as chair at owners’ meetings and serving as an independent chair appointed by the Superior Court. He treated every client and approached each matter with great attention, focus and respect. His dedication extended to teaching portions of the Condominium Law Course for the Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario at Humber College, where he inspired many.

Our hearts are with David’s family.  He will be deeply missed by his many colleagues, clients and friends who had the privileged to work with and learn from him.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we encourage everyone to reflect on the words Every Child Matters.  Today and every day, we should honour the children who never returned home, recognize the trauma and losses experienced by Indigenous Peoples, and have meaningful conversations so that we educate ourselves on the Calls to Action of the TRC and begin putting reconciliation into action as allies.

Today, lawyers and staff came together to reflect on what reconciliation means for us as a firm, and to reaffirm our commitment to honouring and learning about the distinct cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples.  We had the pleasure of learning from Cedar Spoon Catering about the traditional pantry used by First Nations, and the evolution of Indigenous culinary practices in Canada.

On September 25, 2004, Foglers hosted an exclusive discussion on the intricate interplay between inherent jurisdiction and Canada’s political, economic, and legal landscapes.

Featuring an extraordinary panel of Indigenous female trailblazers, whose vision, perspectives, and actions are transforming the narrative on reconciliation and effecting change across the country, from the boardroom to the courtroom.

Panellists:

Drawing from their vast experiences in politics, leadership, and law, our panellists shared invaluable insights on reconciliation, economic equality for Indigenous Peoples, and the evolving legal and political landscape.

Thank you to our co-sponsors Envest Corp., Bullfrog Power and the Global Indigenous Development Trust for helping create this platform for critical dialogue. The discussion inspired attendees and reinforced our commitment to advancing these crucial conversations.

Foglers is pleased to announce that the 49 lawyers were selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2025 edition of the Best Lawyers in Canada and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, across 29 areas of practice.
