Insights
As part of our editorial process, Canadian Lawyer's researchers
interviewed the subject matter expert below for an independent
analysis of this report and its findings.
Richard M. Bogoroch
Founder and Managing Partner
Bogoroch & Associates LLP

• senior lawyers who stay close to the file
• a genuine willingness to go to trial
• a scale that keeps client relationships
direct rather than layered
What separates this year's list from
a simple ranking is how many firms have
proven that more than once – and none of
them are defending it passively.
Hunter Litigation Chambers and Adair
Goldblatt Bieber both described deliberately
developing junior lawyers into leadership
roles well ahead of the traditional timeline,
while Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein
pointed to collegiality and referral relation-
ships built over decades as a competitive
asset in their own right.
Recognition earned once is a moment.
Recognition earned across 14 years is
a discipline.
