Montreal, Canada, May 1, 2015 — The Legal Marketing Association (LMA) designated Fasken Martineau as a go-to law firm for new entrepreneurs by granting the firm the second place in the Practice Development category of the 2015 Your Honor Awards. The award was presented to Fasken Martineau on April 15, 2015, at the LMA Annual Conference in San Diego, California.
Fasken Martineau believes that start-ups are the driving force of tomorrow’s economy and that helping young entrepreneurs succeed can only be beneficial for our communities. The firm has long been involved in the start-up community, sponsoring major events and technology hubs, and creating strategic alliances with organizations and venture capitalists. This one-year Start-up program welcomes applications from all industry sectors and takes the reality of start-ups into account: financial resources are limited and precious. Fasken Martineau’s pioneering program has given it an extra edge in this area, and is now ramping it up to new levels and is very excited to bring this program into the next phase. Through its extended network in technologies, business development and financing, Fasken Martineau is much more than a law firm: it truly acts as a business advisor and partner.
“It is such an honor to have our work recognized by the Legal Marketing Association. Winning this award only shows our commitment to excellence, innovation and the hard work we put in every day to support new entrepreneurs with smart and innovative ideas. In addition, the upcoming phase of our program will introduce what is next for new entrepreneurs.” said Christian Jacques and Jean-Nicolas Delage, Partners at the firm and co-Chairs of the Startup Program.
The LMA Your Honor Awards program recognizes excellence in legal marketing by promoting projects and programs that provide innovation and return on marketing dollar investment. “Each year, the LMA Your Honor Awards showcases the best in the legal marketing industry involving everything from creativity and execution to achievement and overall excellence,” said Betsi Roach, LMA Executive Director. “The Your Honor Awards brings together the innovative ideas from the LMA community and works to affirm our position as a thought-leader in the industry.” For a complete listing of the 2015 Your Honor Awards winners, visit www.legalmarketing.org.
