And the Best Lawyers™ are… (Drumroll, Please)
The recently released list of Best Lawyers™ in Canada 2018 names Canada’s top lawyers as nominated and chosen by their peers. Through our work in legal marketing, Cubicle Fugitive has had the distinct pleasure of working with many great clients who have been recognized with this honour and we extend our sincere congratulations to them.
We’re also thrilled to congratulate Aird & Berlis LLP on being named “Law Firm of the Year" in the practice area of Trusts and Estates.
A complete list of this year’s honourees can be found here: https://www.bestlawyers.com/current-edition/canada
Based entirely on peer reviews, recognition by Best Lawyers reflects the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues. The "Law Firm of the Year" award is based on feedback from lawyers recognized by Best Lawyers on individual lawyer and firm-wide work, the size and coverage of the firm in a specific practice area, historical analysis of the firm’s “Lawyer of the Year” awards in this area, and research surrounding the firm’s overall scope and areas of expertise.
