Eisen Law is proud to announce that two of its partners have been selected for inclusion in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada™. First published in 1983, Best Lawyers has built a reputation as one of the most respected resources for recognizing legal talent and professional achievement.

Over time, Best Lawyers has become a trusted and impartial reference for referrals, relied upon by the legal profession, media outlets, and the public. Since publishing its first international edition in 2006, the guide has expanded considerably and now highlights leading practitioners in more than 75 countries worldwide.

Four Decades of Trusted Legal Recognition

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in Canada™ is determined by both practice area and geographic region. Candidates are nominated by their peers and assessed on the strength of their professional ability. Those who earn consistently strong peer feedback are further vetted to confirm their good standing and active practice before receiving recognition.

Now celebrating its 40th year, Best Lawyers continues to stand as the oldest and among the most respected legal ranking publications globally. For decades, it has connected clients with accomplished lawyers across multiple jurisdictions and fields of practice, with its rankings featured in prominent local, national, and international outlets. Each nomination is evaluated through a confidential peer-review process, where listed lawyers provide feedback within their practice area and region. Lawyers who maintain strong support are carefully verified before being honoured as Best Lawyers award recipients.
