Lexpert and American Lawyer Media have published the Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada (the Lexpert ALM 500). This Guide is designed to provide purchasers of legal services – including corporate counsel, U.S. law firms, senior professionals, and executives – with a qualified resource for researching, vetting and selecting Canadian legal counsel. It is the most comprehensive annual guide to Canada’s top legal talent.
Now in its 21st year, and produced in collaboration with American Lawyer Media, the Lexpert ALM 500 profiles the “most frequently recommended lawyers” across Canada in approximately 38 practice areas identified via an extensive, annual peer survey. Each profile includes an extensive biography and photo.
To round out the editorial package, leading practitioners across Canada provide fresh insight by contributing articles highlighting cross-border issues and recent developments of importance in their areas of practice.
It features articles on the following topics:
