2019

The Ontario Bar Association's Insurance Law Section cordially invites you to celebrate excellence in the profession as we present the 14th Annual OBA Award of Excellence in Insurance Law to two outstanding practitioners.

The Michael MacNaughton Student Writing Award for Insolvency Law was created to encourage law students who are CBA/OBA Members who are pursuing a J.D. degree at an Ontario law school or registered as a student-at-law member of the Law Society of Ontario to prepare a written submission on a recent case or a topical issue of interest to insolvency practitioners. 

Every year the Taxation Law Section of the OBA celebrates one of its members, acknowledged by peers as a leading practitioner and contributor to taxation law in Ontario through the OBA Award for Excellence in Taxation Law. This is your opportunity to recognize the colleagues, peers or mentors who have had the most meaningful impact on the practice in Ontario and in the advancing the profession as a whole.
