NULaw is pleased to announce its inclusion in the 2027 edition of Best Law Firms™ – Canada, receiving a Regional Tier 3 ranking in Toronto for Trusts and Estates.

The distinction marks another year of recognition for the midtown Toronto law firm, which provides legal services in estate planning, estate administration, trusts, and estate litigation.

NULaw’s 2027 Best Law Firms Ranking

In the 2027 edition, NULaw received the following distinction:

• Regional Tier 3 (Toronto): Trusts and Estates

This recognition places NULaw among the Toronto-area law firms acknowledged in the Trusts and Estates category, a practice area encompassing estate planning, the management and distribution of estate assets, and disputes involving wills, trusts, and fiduciary obligations.

Recognition for Trusts and Estates Services in Toronto

Estate and trust matters can involve significant legal, financial, and personal considerations. From preparing wills and establishing trusts to administering estates and resolving disputes between beneficiaries, these matters frequently require an understanding of both individual circumstances and the obligations imposed by Ontario law.

NULaw provides a range of trusts and estates services, including wills, powers of attorney, estate planning, trust arrangements, estate administration, and guidance concerning the responsibilities of executors, trustees, and attorneys acting under powers of attorney.

The firm also represents clients in contentious estate proceedings, including will challenges, passing of accounts applications, dependant support claims, trustee compensation disputes, and proceedings involving the removal of estate trustees. Its 2027 recognition acknowledges the firm’s work across these interconnected areas of trusts and estates law.

About the Best Law Firms™ – Canada Rankings

Each year, Best Law Firms™ – Canada identifies law firms that have received recognition for their professional performance within particular legal practice areas and geographic markets.

The publication relies on a research-based assessment that brings together perspectives from clients, professional references, practising lawyers, and legal industry leaders. Information submitted by participating law firms also contributes to the overall evaluation.

A firm becomes eligible for consideration when at least one of its lawyers is included in the corresponding edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada™ in a practice area evaluated by Best Law Firms.

The Evaluation and Ranking Process

The Best Law Firms™ – Canada assessment examines multiple indicators of professional performance, including responsiveness, integrity, client relationships, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to understand and address clients’ legal needs.

Eligible firms are compared with others practising in the same geographic region and area of law. The publication then assigns rankings through a tiered system, grouping firms according to their overall evaluation results rather than placing them in a sequential numerical order.

The resulting rankings offer individuals, families, businesses, and legal professionals an additional resource when researching law firms recognized for their work in the Canadian legal profession.

Continued Honours for NULaw and D. Lex Arbesman

NULaw‘s inclusion in the 2027 Best Law Firms™ – Canada rankings follows its recognition in both the 2025 and 2026 editions. The firm’s latest achievement also coincides with the continued individual recognition of D. Lex Arbesman in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada™ for Trusts and Estates.

The firm’s repeated Best Law Firms recognition, together with D. Lex Arbesman’s individual distinction, underscores NULaw‘s established involvement in estate and trust matters and its longstanding contributions to Toronto’s legal community.
