“We are delighted that MLT Aikins has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Law Firms again this year. These eight categories span fundamental areas of Canadian law, in which we serve across all of our six offices. Thank you to The Globe and Mail for this honour,” says MLT Aikins managing partner Aaron Runge.
The law firms were selected based on recommendations made by lawyers (peer-to-peer survey) and clients (corporate legal departments). Almost 25,000 lawyers as well as in house lawyers/ legal executives working in legal departments of a company across Canada were actively invited to take part in the survey. The Top 200 law firms in Canada and the top law firms for each legal field were identified based on the number of recommendations they received from participants.
Peers were asked to indicate up to five law firms per legal field they would recommend if their company could not take on a client or his/her instructions (regardless of the reason). Clients were asked to name up to five law firms per legal field they would recommend based on their professional experience. Participants’ responses as well as the final selection of firms in each list were carefully reviewed. Self-recommendations (recommendations of one’s own law firm) were prohibited, and these recommendations were not included in the evaluation.
