elcome to the first annual Canadian Lawyer Readers'
Choice Awards. This feature is designed to allow you,
our readers, to tell us which vendors and suppliers are
the best at what they do. Whether it was a crucial service
or a time-saving product, there was a category for you
to cast your vote. From legal tech products and business
valuation services to recruiters and legal research – the Canadian Lawyer
Readers' Choice Awards showcases the companies and products that pre-
vailed among their competitors.
Nearly 2,300 readers cast votes for their preferred suppliers and vendors
in 40 categories. Given the size and scope of the survey, your responses
exceeded our expectations in this inaugural year. Lawyers and legal pro-
fessionals rely on these businesses and that is why we have dedicated
these pages to highlight those our readers recommend.
The Canadian Lawyer Readers' Choice Awards were created by Canadian
Lawyer with voting conducted via online ballot. Readers were notified of
the ballot through direct e-mails, print and online advertising, and social
media. Results were compiled by the Canadian Lawyer team.
The ballot consisted of 40 categories encompassing the areas of ADR &
Mediation, Financial Services & Consulting, Legal Research, Legal Tech-
nology, Litigation Support & Consulting, Real Estate and Recruiting. In
total, more than 300 products and service providers were listed on the
official ballot and voters were also given the opportunity to write in any
businesses not listed.
Depending upon the number of nominees, we have named the top three
to five vote-getters in each category listed in alphabetical order.
Again, thanks for sharing your voice and your votes. Your opinions are
reflected on the pages that follow. If you do not see your favourite busi-
ness recognized, please be sure to vote next year.
