Canadian Lawyer invites you to vote in its annual Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers

Voting is now open for Canadian Lawyer’s Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers

Each year, Canadian Lawyer launches the Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers to determine the best in the country’s justice system and legal profession over the past 18 months.

Being featured on the list is a recognition of one’s hard work and dedication in rising above the unique challenges that the profession has faced.

The full list of winners will be the top 5 in each of the following categories:

  • Human Rights, Advocacy, and Criminal
  • Business
  • In-house
  • Changemakers: lawyers in any area or type of practice who have been leaders, innovators, or catalysts for positive change in any area of the profession such as diversity, law firm management, education, etc.
  • Government/non-profits/associations: this includes public inquiries, officers of Parliament, academic institutions, the judiciary, and those serving public institutions in various capacities

Readers are encouraged to vote for their picks using this online form

The survey closes on Friday, May 19.

A short list of who received the most votes in each category is then created, with considerations for regional representation. This list is sent to the members of our editorial board to vote for the final list of 25. 

The successful nominees will be featured on Canadian Lawyer’s website in September. See last year’s winners here.
