Toronto—Dentons Canada LLP (Dentons) is pleased to announce that one of our partners, Ken Dhaliwal, was awarded the prestigious Lexpert Zenith Award for 2014 at a gala dinner and awards presentation at The Arcadian Court last night.

The theme of this year's Zenith Awards is Celebrating Today’s Leaders in Practice Excellence, honouring lawyers called to the bar between 1986 - 2000 who have demonstrated excellence and thought leadership in an area of practice and with setting new standards for the profession.

He frequently advises on the areas of Canadian tax incentives, which he combines with international incentives, treaty co-productions and co-ventures, and structuring productions to maximize the benefits of these programs.
