Today, Bernard's son and renowned personal injury lawyer Charles Gluckstein leads a team that lives by our founder's reputation for honesty, dedication to clients, and commitment to humanitarian efforts.

Charles has strategically expanded the firm's partnerships with notable personal injury lawyers across the province (including Nicholson Gluckstein in Ottawa, Rastin Gluckstein in Barrie, and Jellinek Ellis Gluckstein, specializing in Sexual Abuse). He has also guided the firm to undertake innovative projects, and advance thought leadership within the field.
