GLEZOS o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-07-23 published
A fierce litigator who was a 'gentleman'
By Jacquie
McNISH,
Page B7
George GLEZOS dove into lawsuits with intensity, argued with
a flourish in court, never uttered a cross word to opponents,
sometimes exercised twice a day at his gym and wrote outrageous
e-mails.
When the Lerners LLP litigator died suddenly of a brain aneurysm
on Sunday at the age of 53, stories circulated quickly about
his ferocious appetite for the law, sports and his family.
"He leaves a huge hole and ache in many lives," said his partner
Earl CHERNIAK.
In law, Mr.
GLEZOS distinguished himself by taking on what his
partner Peter
JERVIS described as "the steepest and deepest cases."
At Lerners, Mr.
GLEZOS is remembered for irreverent e-mails.
His favourite e-mail command, Mr.
CHERNIAK said, was "reply all."
When a law clerk once sent a firm-wide e-mail asking whether
anyone spoke Polish, Mr.
GLEZOS hit "reply all" and wrote: "The
Pope."
When another Lerners employee sent an e-mail about a new firm
policy requiring prior approval for promotional expenses, he
replied: "I will be taking 100 clients to Hawaii. It will cost
a lot, but it will be worth it as we have been promised a lot
of business, which will keep us all employed. Please approve."
One of Mr.
GLEZOS' most memorable lawsuits was ultimately lost
at the Supreme Court of Canada.
The case was a claim by an investor that few other law firms
would tackle because it accused major retailer Danier Leather
Inc. of failing to disclose negative sales data at a time when
it was selling company shares.
Mr. GLEZOS and Mr.
JERVIS won the closely watched case at trial,
but it was ultimately overturned in Canada's highest court.
Despite the roller-coaster ride, Danier's lawyer Ben
ZARNETT
at Goodmans LLP said Mr.
GLEZOS never lost his cool.
"George was the kind of lawyer with whom you could litigate a
high-stakes case like Danier for years and right up to the Supreme
Court without ever exchanging an angry word," Mr.
ZARNETT said.
"He was a gentleman."
Paul STEEP at McCarthy Tétrault LLP opposed Mr.
GLEZOS in
two corporate lawsuits that potentially involved tens of millions
of dollars of losses for their respective clients. Although Mr.
GLEZOS
fought hard in court for his client, Mr.
STEEP said the lawyer
once patted him on the back after a tough day in court and volunteered
that Mr. STEEP would win the case.
"George loved being an advocate and he loved the camaraderie
of the bar. Even when he was fighting hard for his client he
never forgot that we are all colleagues," Mr.
STEEP said.
Mr. GLEZOS leaves his wife, Olwyn, and son Matthew and daughter
Melanie.
