For the fourth consecutive year, Fasken Martineau has been honoured with the distinction of Global Mining Law Firm of the Year by the Who’s Who Legal Awards. The firm has won this distinction every year since the award’s inception in 2005.

In a compendium edition of The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers 2008, Fasken Martineau’s award was formally announced. For over ten years, Who’s Who Legal has conducted independent research using thousands of nominations received from clients and private practice professionals to determine today’s leading law firms in over 50 countries and five U.S. states.

Editor-in-Chief Callum Campbell explains: “In a highly competitive field, being the only firm to receive the…Award for Mining is an outstanding achievement”. With consistently positive feedback recognizing the firm’s “exceptional individual and collective talent”, Campbell says there are no hesitations in declaring Fasken Martineau the leader in this area once again.

Who’s Who Legal publishes the names of only the leading practitioners in each field, and Fasken Martineau had more practitioners mentioned in the mining area than any other firm. Michael J. Bourassa, Albert C. Gourley, Charles L.K. Higgins, John S.M. Turner, and Thomas C. Wexler were all mentioned by Who’s Who in the publication, with Mr. Turner and Mr. Bourassa featured among the most highly regarded individuals in their research overall.

Who’s Who Legal is the Strategic Research Partner for the American Bar Association’s Section of International Law. 2008 Who’s Who Awards were granted based on feedback received in ongoing research, past performance in research, and overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour.
