The Best Lawyers in Canada by the Numbers

Our time-tested and internationally respected peer-review methodology not only identifies top individual lawyers, but also reveals compelling data on where they are practicing as well as what they specialize in.

In terms of growth, Corporate and Commercial Litigation saw the greatest number of new lawyers recognized, followed by Labour & Employment, Corporate, Insurance, and Construction law. We also welcomed the very first "Lawyer of the Year" honoree in FinTech Practice this year.
