(Vancouver, BC, Canada) The legal Marketing association (LMA) is dedicated to serving the needs and maintaining the professional standards of those involved in marketing in a law firm. LMA Vancouver, the first chapter located outside of the United States, works with individuals in firms throughout British Columbia and the region to set and maintain those standards. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell is glad to be a Gold Sponsor of LMA Vancouver, and in particular to sponsor its Honouring Excellence in Legal Marketing (HELM) awards.

Winners of the first annual HELM awards, presented this past spring in Vancouver, include: Chris Bennett, partner, Davis LLP (Young lawyer award); John W. Elwick, partner, Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP (lifetime achievement); Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP (Firm Marketer of the Year); and Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP (Corporate Social responsibility award).

He is furthering their client service focus and has built a team that supports change and forward thinking in law. the judges were impressed by his creativity, commitment and ability.” Mr. Westeringh is Martindale-Hubbell Peer review rated.
