Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox law firm Holden Day Wilson LLP was a law firm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. When it closed in 1996, it was the largest law firm failure in Canadian history.[1][2]
History
The firm was founded in the early 20th century as Day, Wilson, led by founding partner Jimmy Day's expertise in the incorporation of mining companies.[3] In 1990, the firm merged with the prominent firm of Holden, Murdoch and renamed itself Holden Day Wilson.[3]
In 1993, one of its partners, Garry Hoy, died after throwing himself against a glass window of its downtown Toronto-Dominion Centre office, in a playful attempt to demonstrate the strength of the window. The window frame gave way and Hoy fell to his death from the 24th floor.[1] The shock of losing one of its most successful lawyers was a contributing factor in the firm's decline and fall, and the firm lost nearly 30 lawyers in the following three years.[1]
In 1996, the firm closed permanently amid controversy over unpaid bills.[1][4] Until the closing of Goodman and Carr in 2007, it was the largest law firm failure in Canadian history.[1][2]
