Understanding the Best Law Firms® Rankings

For more than 14 years, Best Law Firms®, published by Best Lawyers®, has provided an authoritative and comprehensive evaluation of top law firms worldwide. Rankings are determined through a rigorous methodology combining peer reviews, client feedback, and independent data analysis. A Best Law Firms® designation represents exceptional professionalism, superior client service, and integrity in legal practice.

Philip Greer, Chief Executive Officer of Best Lawyers®, stated that Best Lawyers proudly recognizes law firms that demonstrate “unwavering dedication to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction”.

Best Lawyers®: Four Decades of Peer Recognition

Established over forty years ago, Best Lawyers® is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. Its annual listings are based entirely on confidential evaluations from accomplished lawyers across regions and practice areas. Because inclusion cannot be purchased, recognition in Best Lawyers® remains one of the most trusted and credible honours for legal professionals.

A Distinction of Legal Excellence

A Best Law Firms™ ranking is among the highest accolades available to Canadian firms, acknowledging exceptional performance both nationally and regionally. Each firm is evaluated according to its practice strength, client relationships, and geographic scope. Tier rankings signify leadership, integrity, and excellence in client advocacy.

The 2026 results highlight firms across 34 national and 68 metropolitan practice areas, representing approximately the top 2% of firms in Canada, selected through extensive peer commentary, client testimonials, and proprietary research.
