OTTAWA – Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall Partner Andrew McDougall, International Arbitration Group Head, has been selected among the top 45 under 45 international arbitration lawyers in the world by Global Arbitration Review (GAR).
“I am truly honoured to be included,” says Andrew McDougall, who is 40. “I know most of those selected, and several are good friends. I believe the list demonstrates the breadth and depth of the international arbitration community.”
GAR is a leading international arbitration publication. The selection process lasted several months and was based on recommendations from leading figures in the field. This is the second ’45 Under 45′ list, the first one being in 2006.
“There is no doubt that Andrew is deserving of being included among this talented group of international arbitration specialists from around the world,” says Barry Leon, Partner in the firm’s International Arbitration Group. “It has been a real pleasure working closely with Andrew in establishing our International Arbitration Group. Andrew is truly dedicated to his clients’ interests. His level of international arbitration experience and knowledge is rare in Canada.”
Andrew was named as one of Lexpert’s 2009 Rising Stars: Leading Lawyers Under 40. He is recognized in many leading international legal directories such as the GAR 100, Chambers Global, Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada, Legal 500, PLC Which Lawyer, Who’s Who Legal, and Guide to the World’s Leading Commercial Arbitration Experts.
Earlier this year, Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall was ranked in the GAR 100 as one of the top international arbitration firms in the world.
