Dentons is pleased to announce that 95 of the Firm’s Canada-based lawyers contributed to a total of 157 rankings in the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory 2019. Of these, 11 of our lawyers were ranked as “Most Frequently Recommended,” the highest possible ranking, and 15 of our individual lawyers joined the rankings for the first time this year.

Dentons’ 2019 Lexpert rankings include lawyers from all six of the global Firm’s Canadian offices (Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver). In addition, 65 Dentons practice groups were recognized this year.

The Lexpert directory is considered the preeminent peer-review-based directory of legal practitioners in Canada, ranking both individual lawyers and firms across areas of expertise. Recommendations for lawyers in the annual Lexpert directory are based on an exhaustive annual peer review survey, with firm rankings tabulated from the cumulative rankings of individuals within each practice area reviewed.
