IR Global, the world’s largest exclusive network of advisory firms is delighted to introduce Paul Edwards of Duboff, Edwards, Haight & Schachter. Paul has joined IR as our exclusive Employment Law (Corporate) & Corporate Law Member in Canada – West.
The law firm of Duboff, Edwards, Haight & Schachter has a long and distinguished history, tracing its roots to the 1930’s. However, it was the law firm of Mendle Meltzer and Earl Essers that was the true genesis of its creation, when that practice was purchased in the mid-1980’s by a young Neil Duboff, who was Meltzer’s nephew and who had a vision of what a progressive law firm should be.
Over the next decade, Neil would be joined by several partners – first Harley Schachter, then Bill Haight and then by Paul Edwards. All four came from either large or traditional firms, and all four believed they could serve their clients in a new, smaller firm by focusing on practical, effective and innovative solutions to help their clients achieve their goals. And they were right.
That vision of a nimble, client-centric approach is also supported by the type of lawyer that is asked to join the Duboff, Edwards, Haight & Schachter team. Rather than select associates solely on academic credentials, the firm places equal emphasis on personality, attitude and integrity. These are values that shape character and form the basis of the firm’s inclusive culture.
In addition to practicing law in the community, the firm is also cognizant of its responsibility to the community. Each partner and associate is involved in numerous non-profit and civic organizations. In addition, our staff are likewise encouraged to volunteer and become involved in our community. As a company, the firm regularly supports worthwhile endeavors, often doing so anonymously without recognition.
If you have a requirement in this area, please get in touch with Paul directly or with the IR Global head office for an introduction.
