Last week Burchells partner Jason Cooke accepted the 2015 Canadian Bar Association - Nova Scotia Branch's 'Section Award of Excellence' on behalf of the Aboriginal Law Section. The award celebrates and recognizes the outstanding contribution of a CBA-NS section in providing service to its members and furthering the objectives of the Association. In his role as the Section's chair Jason received the award at the July 30th President's Reception, hosted by current Branch President (and Burchells partner) David Cameron.
Our Aboriginal Law team lawyers are all active participants in the Section, and recent presenters included our own D. Bruce Clarke, QC, Naiomi Metallic and Derek Simon.
Burchells LLP lawyers have long been active in the CBA and Bar Society, placing a high value on giving back to our profession.
