TOP ONTARIO REGIONAL FIRMS
OPPORTUNITIES
AND RISK
The top 10 Ontario regional law firms see possibilities in this
era of consolidation and slow economic growth.
By Charlotte Santry
HOW WE DID IT
Canadian Lawyer asked lawyers and in-house counsel from across Canada to vote on Ontario's top full-service
regional firms. They were asked to rank their top 10 firms from a preliminary list, with a chance to nominate a
firm that was not included on the list. Respondents' rankings were based on firms' regional service coverage,
client base, notable mandates, service excellence, and legal expertise. To be considered in the vote, firms
were required to have offices only in the province of Ontario and offer a wide range of legal services. Voting
was verified through a series of internal checks and 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.
