See who won in our fourth annual law awards honouring the best in Canadian law
The Canadian Law Awards winners were announced at the Liberty Grand in Toronto tonight. Legal professionals came from across Canada to connect with colleagues and peers – and raise a glass to the profession’s finest – at the packed venue.
This year’s CLAs, the second to be held in person, marked the perfect occasion for the profession to come together and celebrate the success of its best performers over the last 12 months.
The shortlist of Excellence Awardees for non-deal and case categories were revealed in March, and finalists for the deal categories (capital markets, infrastructure, insolvency and restructuring, mid-market transactions and M&A deal of the year) were unveiled on April 19.
The deal finalists are also featured in the Lexpert Special Edition on Finance and M&A, published in the Globe and Mail and online on Lexpert.ca.
Lexpert would like to thank everyone who made the event such a roaring success: everyone who attended, our sponsors, our independent judging panel and – of course – our illustrious winners.
