4 EDITORIAL Time To Look for a Corporate Law Partner? JEAN CUMMING EDITOR-IN-CHIEF CANADIAN CORPORATE LAWYERS provide a range of services to you, the business community. Many of you have long, thriving relationships with one another. For those of the entrepreneurial spirit, i.e., most of the ROB's readers, you may still think of lawyers as service providers rather than partners. At Lexpert ®, we hope we can provide you with further information about that potential partnership. The lawyers profiled in the biographical entries on these pages have been "recommended" by their peers — on anonymous surveys. They are ranked in one or more of these areas: Corporate Commercial Law, Corporate Finance and Securities, Corporate Tax, Mergers & Acquisitions, Energy, Mining and Restructuring and Insolvency. Of course, many of these legal practice areas overlap, which is one of the reasons the commitment from these lawyers to your overall business interests is so important. When you next need a trusted advisor to partner with you, we in turn recommend that you keep these lawyers top of mind. LEXPERT® RANKED LAWYERS RANKED LAWYERS Baldwin, Christopher G.
