IFLR1000 is delighted to announce the winners of the second IFLR1000 Canada Awards.
The awards celebrate the most innovative, complex and impactful domestic legal work undertaken in Canada in 2020, and the lawyers and law firms that led on it.
The shortlists were the culmination of seven months' research in which the team analysed thousands of transactions and survey responses and interviewed hundreds of lawyers. The categories recognise where firms and lawyers performed exceptionally locally and nationally.
The criteria and methodology for IFLR1000 awards can be viewed here.
Congratulations to all winners and shortlisted firms, without your work the awards would not be possible.
