“As a sports law lecturer, my focus is always on the students and their learning. It was special to receive recognition for the work that I have done in this field,” Shim says. “Meeting other recipients was also a thrill as I learnt so much about their journeys. I am proud to be a Lexpert Rising Star, and receiving this award has given me a boost in my legal and academic pursuits.”
Each year, Lexpert’s advisory panel of legal leaders selects the Rising Star award winners. This year, Lexpert invited members of the legal profession to nominate young Canadian lawyers from law firms, organizations, and in-house departments who have outstanding accomplishments.
The November gala will be hosted by personal finance authority and national media personality Melissa Leong. A bestselling author and the resident money expert on CTV’s The Social, Leong was a print journalist at The National Post, The Toronto Star, and The Globe and Mail, covering politics, terrorism, crime, arts, and business for over two decades.
Individual seats and VIP and standard tables can be booked through the event’s registration page.
Lexpert Rising Stars is presented by Lexpert magazine with support from Law Times and Canadian Lawyer.
