Simm’s cases are cited in 23 textbooks and 2 accredited CPD papers in this area of law. As well, there was a notable non-litigious matter in 2017 which received national media attention. Simm successfully advised a dissident group of physicians on removing certain executive officers of the Ontario Medical Association. (See below for 13 sample media reports.)

While earning his Juris Doctor degree from UofT, he received the highest grade of any student in the upper-year course, Economic Analysis of Law.
