SPECIAL REPORT

BEST IN LAW 2022 Here is a roundup of the award-winning law firms and professionals featured in our Special Reports THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, our 30-strong Intelligence Unit researches a series of Special Reports – each showcasing the topperforming legal professionals and firms across a number of important categories. Over the past 12 months, 55,000 surveys have been sent to our readers across Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The culmination of all

that reporting is our annual Best in Law digital edition.

The Best in Law recognises the legal award winners from all of our special reports in 2022, which have already attracted 1.7 million online pageviews between them.

This important 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 Half is one firm on the list.

Regional director Michelle Dunnill says, “Robert Half is the world’s largest specialized talent solutions firm, and our professional legal team is highly experienced in matching

BEST IN LAW 2022

skilled legal professionals with many of the top companies in Canada. We also take great pride in our company culture and have a demonstrated commitment to the employee experience – our people are what makes us thrive.”

Also listed Is DLA Piper. Country managing partner for New Zealand, Laura Scampion, commented, “2022 has been a great year for DLA Piper in New Zealand and we are delighted to be recognised as part of the Best in Law. Being part of a global law firm with the ability to collaborate with colleagues from around the world to develop best practice and

apply this locally holds huge value for our clients.”

Russell McVeagh is another firm featured in the Global Best in Law. Board chair and partner Allison Arthur-Young adds, “We strive to make a positive difference to Aotearoa New Zealand through the work we deliver for our clients, the way we support our people, our contribution to the wider community and our steps to protect and care for the environment.”

As a global publisher, our Intelligence Unit dedicates itself to carrying out detailed research including harnessing our wide-ran-

ging resources to canvass industry experts and knowledgeable sources to determine who is worthy of a place on the list.

This important annual guide was curated and published by Canadian Lawyer, Australasian Lawyer, Lexpert, Canadian Law List, Law Times and NZ Lawyer.

We also thank The Federation of Ontario Law Associations for their help with our reports.

Below is the Best in Law. We hope you enjoy discovering all of those who we believe are shining brightest and who are shaping the future of law.

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.
