Twenty-three lawyers at Thomson Rogers LLP have been named to the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada™, the profession’s longest-running peer review publication. The list includes 19 partners recognized in Best Lawyers in Canada™ and four lawyers named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada™, a category reserved for lawyers earlier in their careers who are already distinguishing themselves in their practice areas.
Due to the fact that Best Lawyers rankings are built entirely on peer feedback rather than paid submissions, a listing reflects how a lawyer is regarded by other practitioners in the same field. This year’s results point to the breadth of Thomson Rogers’ practice, spanning family law, municipal law, expropriation law and health care law alongside its personal injury litigation team.
