About Lexpert
Since 1994, Lexpert has been Canada's definitive legal directory and rankings service — connecting businesses with the lawyers and law firms best positioned to serve them, ranked by practice area, province, and city.
Lexpert's rankings are built on one of the most rigorous peer survey methodologies in the legal industry. The most recent edition draws on 18,000+ completed surveys from partners and senior practitioners. Today, 6,270+ ranked lawyers across 890+ firms call the directory home, spanning 42 practice areas from M&A, banking and finance, and litigation to mining, energy, immigration, and workplace human rights — all searchable by province and city.
Beyond the main directory, Lexpert offers three additional resources: the Lexpert 500, identifying Canada's leading cross-border lawyers for Canada-US transactions; Canada's Largest Law Firms, a searchable guide to the country's biggest legal practices by city; and Big Deals, our database of Canadian M&A transactions capturing the deals, firms, and lawyers behind them.
