Congratulations to Ron Franklin on his new position
Ron Franklin has decided to leave Green & Chercover to pursue a Legal Aid practice at Parkdale Community Legal Services, which provides one of the province’s most comprehensive workers’ rights legal aid clinics. After articling with the CAW and Green & Chercover, Ron spent his first year as a lawyer with the firm and was a great colleague, whose humour and enthusiasm will be missed. We wish him all the best as he embarks on this next phase of his career and look forward to having opportunities to work with him in the future.
