Osler is proud to announce that 29 of our lawyers were recognized as leaders in Benchmark Litigation’s 2022 issue of Benchmark Canada, its annual publication recognizing Canada’s leading litigation lawyers. These awards recognize the country’s most distinguished litigators and their firms for their exemplary work over the past 12 months. Benchmark Litigation highlights the most impactful cases, the lawyers and law firms behind them, and the litigators who have paved the way.
Our litigators were awarded a total of 25 “Litigation Stars,” three “40 & Under Hot List,” one “Top 50 Women in Litigation,” and four “Future Star” rankings across several practice areas.
Our Ontario litigation team was also given the top distinction of “Highly Recommended” and was praised for being “methodical, detailed and strategic”. Our Québec group is seen as being in “growth mode” with mention of our strategic hires, while our Alberta group is viewed as “a very big player” with both groups being “Recommended” by Benchmark.
