Brownstein to Russia

Former Côte St. Luc Councillor Mitchell Brownstein ( centre , standing) is part of the Prime Minister Jean Chrétien-led Team Canada trade mission to Russia, which begins Feb. 13. Brownstein, an immigration lawyer, and his brother and partner Herbert (fourth from left, standing), have been on Team Canada trips since 1996. Brownstein is searching for a manager to head up a branch office for Brownstein, Brownstein in Russia. He pointed out that companies starting joint venture firms in that country always need Canadian immigration advice to make sure management personnel can easily travel to and from Canada to train subordinates, ‘ The Opportunity to (visit) law firms with whom we can cooperate in the future is tremendous' Brownstein says. ‘This is a business trip our firm never misses.'
