We are pleased to announce that our Municipal & Land Use Planning Group was the top firm in Novae Res Urbis’ (NRU) annual ranking of planning and development law firms in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
Aird & Berlis LLP has consistently ranked as one of the top firms in NRU’s annual ranking of the GTHA’s most prominent planning and development firms since its inception 21 years ago. In this ranking, which looks at Local Planning Appeal Tribunal decisions issued between July 2018 and June 2019, NRU noted that “the firm surpassed the competition this year both in terms of overall case volume, and in successful outcomes.”
Tom works with his municipal and land development clients, guiding them through the ever-evolving provincial policy framework.
