A further congratulations to our lawyers who won ‘Lawyer of the Year’ awards for their region and practice area: David Allard for Mergers & Acquisitions Law (Vancouver), Murray Campbell for Employee Benefits Law (Vancouver), and John Olynyk for Aboriginal Law (Calgary).

Best Lawyers is a respected peer review legal publication. Their ‘Lawyer of the Year’ awards are given to the lawyers with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Only one lawyer is recognized as the "Lawyer of the Year" for each specialty and location. Their ‘Law Firm of the Year’ awards are country and practice area specific. They are determined based on feedback from recognised lawyers, 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.
