RSS CELEBRATES ITS 85TH ANNIVERSARY

With the dawn of 2006, Robinson Sheppard Shapiro celebrates its 85th Anniversary. Realizing that the success of its clients leads ultimately to its own success, RSS has dedicated its 85th Anniversary year to its loyal clients. Since 1921 several hundred lawyers and many more staff members have exercised their skills and talents on behalf of thousands of businesses and persons in need of legal counsel.

RSS remains a mid-sized, full service law firm dedicated to professional excellence, personal and high quality service and effective, solution-oriented advocacy.

Our attorneys possess a broad range of legal expertise and are committed to providing experienced, versatile and practical legal counsel. Our approach is simple, direct and uncompromising. We are tenacious in the pursuit of our clients' interests and focus on providing the best possible service in a quick, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Meeting our clients’ legal and business needs will continue to be our greatest priority. We are highly attentive and committed to providing a common sense, skilled approach to problem solving. To that end, we do not merely respond – we anticipate; we are not passive but proactive.

Our strong foothold in the business community since the firm’s inception in 1921, the high esteem in which our attorneys are held, our intense dedication to our goals and the strategic alliances we have forged with professional firms around the globe allow us to ensure that our clients achieve their objectives.

In 2006, more than ever before, globalization is an everyday reality. Trade and other barriers have fallen and investment capital moves quickly around the globe. This new phenomenon has accentuated the movement of persons, as much for personal as for economic and social reasons.

RSS, through its experienced and specialized attorneys and its affiliated offices in more than sixty countries on six continents, provides counsel and representation to businesses and individuals, regardless of country of origin, wishing to establish themselves in Canada. The full service RSS team is always an important ally in assisting clients to attain their goals and fulfill their aspirations, as much before as after entry into Canada.
