Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP is pleased to congratulate partner Monica Biringer on her appointment as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada.
Prior to her appointment, Justice Biringer served as Co-Chair of Osler’s National Tax Group, where her industry-leading practice covered all aspects of corporate income tax, with an emphasis on tax controversy. Justice Biringer has extensive experience in cross-border mergers, inbound corporate financing and acquisitions, leasing as a form of financing, financial restructuring and tax litigation, appearing at all levels of federal and provincial courts with respect to income tax matters.
“While the Honourable Justice Biringer will undoubtedly be a welcome addition to the Court, she will be dearly missed here at Osler by the tax group and the rest of the Firm,” says Patrick Marley, partner and Co-Chair of Osler’s National Tax Group alongside Justice Biringer. “Please join me in congratulating Monica on this tremendous achievement!”
Throughout her long and distinguished legal career, Justice Biringer has continuously been recognized as a leader in tax law by various Canadian and international organizations and previously served as Governor of the Canadian Tax Foundation. She has also written and spoken extensively at conferences on various Canadian tax matters, taught at the Bar Admission Course and served on the editorial board for the Federated Press, a corporate finance periodical.
Last year, Justice Biringer was named "Tax Dispute Resolution Lawyer of the Year" by the Euromoney LMG Americas Women in Business Law Awards. In 2018, she received the H.J Crawford Award in recognition for her volunteer support of University of Toronto Schools (UTS) over the course of four decades, including capital campaign leadership, and was a 2017 Lexpert Zenith Award recipient for her exceptional leadership skills and accomplishments in supporting the advancement of women in the legal profession.
