Lenczner Slaght Lawyers Ranked Among the Best

Canada's leading litigation practice has 22 professionals in the 2014 Best Lawyers in Canada list.

The ninth annual ranking of top Canadian lawyers just released by the Best Lawyers in Canada publishing group includes nearly two dozen partners and associates of Toronto-based Lenczner Slaght.

Prominent in Best Lawyers in Canada since the annual peer ratings were inaugurated in Canada eight years ago, the firm - which focuses exclusively on litigation - is recognized for the excellence of its practitioners in a wide range of areas, from corporate and commercial litigation to professional malpractice to class actions. This year nine additional Lenczner Slaght lawyers join 13 colleagues who have already been recognized as leaders in the profession, based on endorsements from their peers in other firms.

"We're proud to have so many professionals on our team recognized in Best Lawyers in Canada," said Peter Griffin, managing partner of Lenczner Slaght. "We know our clients value this further reinforcement of the key strengths we offer: our depth of talent, our wealth of courtroom experience and our long record of success in meeting litigation goals. Indeed, the fact that we've added so many new names to this year's list reflects our continued commitment to recruiting and developing litigators who are among the best in the profession."
