We are pleased to announce that Altro & Associates returns as the championship court sponsor for the 4th annual Squash Crohn’s Tournament on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at Club CDL!

The annual event raises funds for Crohn’s and Colitis research. This year, the money raised will support The Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation in order to contribute to the very important area of Pediatric IBD research and care.

The event was co-founded by our own Chief Operating Officer Matthew Altro, who will co-chair and participate in this year’s event.

Over the past three years, the event has raised almost $90,000 which has been distributed to various IBD research and care projects.

To further support this great cause, David Altro has chosen to ask for donations in lieu of payment for his book Owning U.S. Property – The Canadian Way . To order your copy today, please click here.

We are pleased to welcome our new Florida Attorney, Ken Lobo. Ken’s undergraduate studies at McGill University in political science led him to Florida State University College of Law where he earned his Juris Doctor in 2009. In May 2010, Ken was admitted to the Florida Bar. Ken has also recently passed the New York Bar examinations and is expecting to be called to the Bar some time in 2011. Ken’s knowledge in the areas of real estate closings, U.S. probate and Cross Border Tax and Estate Planning will certainly make an excellent addition to the Altro Team.

In other exciting news, our own Jason S. Ansel was called to the Quebec Bar on January 25, 2011 and is expecting to be called to the Ontario Bar in 2011. Jason will be specializing in Cross Border Estate Planning and Real Estate.
We would like to extend our congratulations to Jason and wish him lots of success. Keep up the great work Jason!
