Members of Ontario's legal professions will be recognized for their outstanding career achievements and contributions to their communities at the annual Law Society Awards ceremony, which will be held on May 24, 2023. A Law Society Medal will be awarded to our very own Co-President Igor Ellyn. As described in the Law Society News Release…

For the past 50 years, Mr. Ellyn has been an exceptional advocate, respected mediator and arbitrator, extraordinary mentor and role model.

He is truly a fearless advocate who never settles for anything other than what is in a client’s best interests. Mr. Ellyn has demonstrated professional leadership throughout his career, notably serving as president of the Ontario Bar Association in the mid-1990’s. He was active in Canadian Bar Association affairs and also served as a vice-president of the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists.
