The invitation, according to the ACTL’s website, is extended to “those who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality.”

Plumpton is a partner in the firm’s competition and antitrust practice and is chairwoman of its litigation and dispute resolution practice, the firm said in its announcement. Her practice centres on competition litigation, class action defence, corporate and securities litigation. She has appeared as counsel in all levels of court in Ontario, in the Federal Court and the Supreme Court of Canada, as well as before the Competition Tribunal and the Ontario Securities Commission.
