RE: Macintosh among Top 500 Legal Experts in NAI was curious
how a cash starved junior like TNR (remember they started lawsuit before hitting a homerun with lithium) can afford an all-star lawyer like MacIntosh...the
answer from management was so good I decided to invest some more!!!
Call up Management if you want the real story behind how they scored one of the best lawyers in Canada to defend their case against Xstrata. I kid you not.

George Macintosh leads the litigation group in the law firm of Farris in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he has practised since his call to the Bar of British Columbia in 1974. He graduated from Dalhousie University with his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969 and Bachelor of Law degree in 1972. He was admitted to the Alberta Bar in 1980. Mr. Macintosh was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1987, elected as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers in 1991 and a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers in 2001. Canadian, U.S. and U.K. publications repeatedly rank him as one of Canada’s leading commercial litigators.
2. Wealth of experience against majors ....Xstrata anyone? After all he's won against Chevron and Imperial Oil...
It's not everyday when a city asks a lawyer to defend their Olympic interests, wouldnt you say that's pretty important case for a city? Few hundred million$ at stake!
“George Macintosh, head of the litigation group at Farris Vaughan Wills & Murphy LLP, says, “I can’t imagine that the work is going to end until sometime after the Olympics end, because it’s such a work in progress, right?” His firm was retained by VANOC to handle what Macintosh describes as “one-offs,” such as a campaign against Imperial Oil for alleged ambush marketing, which was settled, and a “heated dispute” with the owners of the principal venue, GM Place, about the terms under which VANOC would be able to occupy the hockey rink for the term of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“I mean, there are so many construction sites, and there are so many thousands of contracts that have to be settled. And out of those, inevitably there are going to be some disputes. And the Olympics presents the fullest imaginable spectrum of potential litigation events, if something went sideways — and so not to be sort of ghoulish about it, but litigation could crop up at any stage. And you know how it is, half of you hopes it doesn’t, and half of you hopes it does,” he says.”
