SPECIAL REPORT
BEST IN LAW 2023 Recognizing the legal professionals and firms across Asia-Pacific and North America who have excelled and raised the bar ALL THROUGHOUT 2023, Key Media’s 30-strong Intelligence Unit researched and produced a series of Special Reports, each showcasing the top-performing legal professionals and companies across a number of important professional categories. All of our 172 published reports over the past 12 months have already attracted 2.4 million online pageviews, as we’ve crowned 5,044 deserving winners globally. In the process, 60,000 readers
2
across Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have been sent our surveys. The culmination of all that extensive reporting is our annual Best in Law digital edition. The Best in Law recognizes the legal award winners from 2023’s Special Reports and features a combined 594 individuals and companies from the sector. This prestigious list provides a definitive annual collection of those who have delivered outstanding results, introduced new initiatives,
refined existing working practices and also acted as a source of inspiration to colleagues. Robert Kreklewetz partner of winning Canadian firm Millar Kreklewetz LLP says, “Being recognized by Global Best is a great honour for our law firm. My partner Jack (Millar) and I have worked together for almost 35 years building our boutique practice, helping clients around the world with Canadian tax and trade issues — competing with all of the “big law” and “big accounting” players in this
BEST IN LAW 2023
field. With our other partner John (Bassindale) now logging in 15 years with the firm, I think we are wellpositioned for many more years to come. Being recognized by the Best in Law really affirms this for me.” Australian firm Kerrs director Tean Kerr adds, “We are delighted to be a Fast Firm winner and humbled at being recognized for our success since our commencement only two years ago and now through to 2023. We strive to always be a law
firm that clients want to work with and our team wants to work at. Our leadership team makes every decision for our firm with this in mind. Thank you for recognizing our small but growing team as a Fast Firm in 2023.” This annual guide was curated and published by Canadian Lawyer, Australasian Lawyer, and NZ Lawyer. We also thank all the following bodies for their help with our reports:
• International Network of Boutique Law Firms (INBLF) • Pro Bono Ontario • Society of Construction Law New Zealand • The Federation of Ontario Law Associations Below is the Best in Law. We hope you enjoy discovering those who we believe are shining brightest and building a better future for the legal profession.
HOW WE CHOOSE THE BEST Each year, our research team sends out thousands of surveys to the legal industry, that it then follows up with phone interviews to find out just who the industry thinks is worthy of recognition. Shortlisted finalists are then put in front of our judging panel to help make a final decision on who to include in the list of award winners.
