Kyiv Post Contributor Listed Again Among ‘Best Lawyers in Canada’

Eugene Czolij, a Kyiv Post contributor, has once again been recognized as one of "Best Lawyers in Canada" for his expertise in Corporate and Commercial Litigation. This accolade is part of The Best Lawyers in Canada 2027, an esteemed publication that has been consistently acknowledged as one of the most reputable in the legal industry since 2012. With an impressive track record, Czolij has been featured annually in the publication since 2012, reflecting his consistent excellence in the field.

Born and trained in Quebec, Czolij was admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1982. He currently serves as a partner at Lapointe Rosenstein Marchand Melançon, one of the largest independent law firms in Quebec. Czolij's commitment to Ukraine's interests and integration into European structures was further demonstrated by receiving an honorary doctorate in 2016 from Lviv Polytechnic National University in Ukraine and another in 2019 from the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

Czolij's dedication extends beyond academia. Since 2020, he has held the position of Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Montreal, and has previously led several significant Ukrainian organizations. From 2008 to 2018, he was the President of the Ukrainian World Congress, and from 1998 to 2004, he presided over the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. Recognizing his ongoing contributions, Czolij was elected as the President of NGO “Ukraine-2050” in 2019.

The Kyiv Post extends its congratulations to Czolij on this well-deserved recognition, underscoring his enduring impact in both the legal profession and Ukrainian community.
