We take great pride and pleasure in announcing the most deserved appointment of our esteemed partner, Wendy L. MacPherson, to the bench of the Superior Court of Justice for the Province of Ontario. Madam Justice MacPherson will be greatly missed within and outside our firm both for her friendship and the highest standard of practice that she has consistently brought to us and to her clients. We take consolation in the knowledge that the bench cannot help but benefit from the qualities of integrity, calm compassion, common sense, intelligence, good judgment and good humour that have always characterized her personal and professional dealings. We wish to reassure all our clients, both present and future, that Martin Sheppard Fraser LLP will continue striving to apply the same high standards in all our future dealings.

Congratulations Wendy, and thank you for your years of diligent service and the great honour that you have brought to us!

The partners, associates and staff of Martin Sheppard Fraser LLP.
