Canadian Lawyer Recognizes Oatley Vigmond as One of the Top 10 Personal Injury Law Firms

We are proud to announce that Oatley Vigmond has again been named one of Canada’s Top 10 Personal Injury Law Firms by Canadian Lawyer magazine. The 2013 rankings were released in Canadian Lawyer’s April 2013 issue.

Roger Oatley, a past Advocates’ Society president, founded the firm in 1974 after spending two years as a defence lawyer. Jim Vigmond, a former president of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, joined in 1993, and in 2002 the pair focused in on a specialized plaintiffs’ practice. There are 13 lawyers and around 80 other staff at the firm, which, apart from its head office in Barrie, has consultation offices dotted throughout the province in Toronto, Hamilton, North Bay, and Sudbury. Oatley pioneered “the science of what makes a jury or judge tick, and has taken it further than anyone else,” said one voter who credits the firm with setting the model for the prosecution of large catastrophic claims.” – Canadian Lawyer Magazine

Thank you to Canadian Lawyer for again bestowing Oatley Vigmond with this prestigious honour. We also congratulate our Personal Injury Alliance partners – Thomson Rogers and McLeish, Orlando – on their inclusion in the Top 10.
