HOW WE DID IT
Canadian Lawyer InHouse asked
lawyers, in-house counsel and
clients from across Canada to vote on the
top corporate law boutiques. They were
asked to rank their top firms from a
preliminary list, with a chance to nominate
a firm that was not included on the list. To
be considered in the vote, firms were
required to have at least 80 per cent of
their business come from corporate law.
The final rankings were determined
through a points system, in which firms
were rewarded on a sliding scale for the
number of first- to 10th-place votes
received. The quantitative results are
combined with feedback from respected
senior members of the bar and in-house
counsel when applicable.
