MLT Aikins is pleased to announce that Vancouver lawyer Lynsey Gaudin has been named one of 2025’s Lexpert Rising Stars: Leading Lawyers Under 40.

“Being recognized as a Lexpert Rising Star is a meaningful milestone in my career,” Lynsey shared. “I’ve had the privilege of working at an exceptional firm and with clients whose trust and success have made my work incredibly rewarding. I could not have reached this moment without them and the support of MLT Aikins. I’m truly honoured by this recognition and look forward to celebrating with my fellow recipients this year.”

Presented by Lexpert magazine and supported by Canadian Lawyer and Law Times, the prestigious Lexpert Rising Stars awards honours leading lawyers 40 and under from law firms, in-house departments and other practices across Canada. Winners are chosen by an advisory panel made up of leaders and experts within the legal profession.

Lynsey, alongside her fellow Rising Stars from across the country, will be honoured at a gala awards show held in Toronto on November 20.

“On behalf of the entire firm, I’d like to extend my sincere congratulations to Lynsey for her well-deserved accomplishment,” said MLT Aikins managing partner Aaron Runge. “She has proven time and time again that she’s a valuable force for growth, leadership and exceptional client service within the firm.”
