RS Sponsored Moot Team Performs Well in Toronto

by | Mar 17, 2015 | News

Congratulations to the University of Saskatchewan College of Law’s Securities Moot Team with coach Michael Wright for their fine showing at the Davies’ Annual Corporate/Securities Law Moot held March 6 and 7 in Toronto.

Considered the leading event of its kind in Canada, the Davies’ Moot provides an opportunity for top students from Canadian law schools to debate current legal issues in corporate securities law with senior practitioners from Toronto law firms and corporations, regulators from the Ontario Securities Commission and judges from several courts.

There were twelve law schools from across Canada competing at the Moot with the University of Saskatchewan team placing fourth overall.  The students were tested on their written advocacy (presented in a factum delivered prior to the competition) and their oral advocacy.  The top factum prize was awarded to the University of Toronto team, with Western University taking second, and the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Ottawa tying for third.  The U of S team had three oralists in the top fifteen, including one in the top four.

Robertson Stromberg LLP is pleased to announce that it has been awarded recertification in Meritas, a global alliance of independent business law firms.  Robertson Stromberg joined Meritas in 2011, and as a condition of its membership, is required to successfully complete recertification every three years.

Meritas is the only law firm alliance with an established and comprehensive means of monitoring and enhancing the quality of its member firms — a process that saves clients time in validating law firm credentials and experience.  Meritas membership is selective and by invitation only.  Firms are regularly assessed and recertified for the breadth of their practice expertise and client satisfaction.  The organization’s extensive due diligence process ensures that only firms meeting the tenets of Meritas’ unique Quality Assurance Program are allowed to maintain membership.  Firm performance and quality are reflected in a Satisfaction Index score, which is made available online.

“We are proud of our firm’s achievements, and look forward to continuing our relationship with Meritas,” said Christopher Donald, Managing Partner at Robertson Stromberg.  “Meritas’ Quality Assurance Program is not just valuable for our clients seeking legal expertise around the world; it also provides us with a framework to consistently monitor and address the quality of our services.”

The recertification process includes exacting self-assessment, peer review by other law firms and client feedback.  It examines such factors as timelines and quality of a firm’s client service, professional conduct and adherence to Meritas policies including acknowledgement of Meritas firm or client correspondence within 24 hours.

“Businesses trust the Meritas alliance of law firms for top-tier quality, convenience, consistency and value,” said Tanna Moore, president and CEO of Meritas.  “Robertson Stromberg has demonstrated its commitment to world-class client service, and as such, has successfully earned its recertification in Meritas.”
