ABOUT BENCHMARK
The Benchmark Canada Guide is a publication dedicated to covering litigation trends, firms and practitioners across Canada. The rankings and awards shortlists result from the culmination of a six-month research period where researchers conduct extensive interviews with litigators and their clients to identify the leading litigators and firms. During these interviews, researchers examine recent casework handled by law firms and ask individual litigators to offer their professional opinions on peers. Firms cannot pay to be recommended for the Guide. Recommendations are based on interviews with the nation’s leading private practice lawyers and in-house counsel.
In addition to its Awards Gala, Benchmark Canada honours Canada’s top litigators and litigation firms in its annual Benchmark Canada Guide. In 2015, Benchmark Canada recognized one of Harper Grey’s lawyers as a Future Star and 11 lawyers as Litigation Stars in a variety of practice areas, either exclusively or as a specialty component of their general practice, including construction, defamation, environmental, general commercial, health, insolvency, insurance, medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability, professional liability, and securities. Benchmark Canada is the only publication on the market to focus exclusively on Canadian litigation practices.
