Eight Stewart McKelvey lawyers have been named as inaugural Canadian recipients of “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers, a publication that has been gathering information on the best lawyers in the world, based on peer review surveys, for more than twenty-five years. Only one lawyer in each practice area in each community was chosen for this honour.
