Spotlighting the global best lawyers and law firms honoured for their excellence over the past year



IN 2025, Canadian Lawyer, along with its sister publications, Australasian Lawyer and NZ Lawyer, has recognized many deserving lawyers and law firms for their outstanding performance.
The Global Best in Law 2025 pays tribute to all those who have navigated the increasing role of AI, legislative changes, and economic challenges for clients.
Michael Spratt, an acclaimed criminal defence lawyer, podcaster, and legal commentator in Canada, highlights some of the issues facing the sector.
“The lack of court capacity and the
delays in criminal proceedings have been a major challenge. Evidence and the criminal process, unlike a fine wine, doesn’t get better with age. Witnesses’ memories fade and accountability becomes more distant,” he says.
With AI being used to generate fictitious arguments or phantom cases, Spratt maintains that all leading lawyers are vigilant against this risk.
“It’s easy to hold people accountable. It’s hard to hold the computer algorithm accountable, especially when we know that AI and large language model algorithms are particularly susceptible to systemic
issues of discrimination, disadvantage, and bias,” he explains.
While it can often be taken for granted, Spratt believes there’s a need to ensure that access to justice is maintained. Regardless of the type of case, every individual deserves that basic right.
Spratt adds, “If the public doesn’t believe the justice system is actually delivering justice, we risk losing a very important and foundational aspect of our democracy.”
Best of 2025
Here, four law firms spotlight their year and the initiatives that have
enabled them to be honoured by their peers and recommended by clients.
Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers – For the greater good
Story of 2025:
• Groundbreaking litigation representing Canadian school boards against Meta, TikTok, and Snap over the impact of social media on student mental health.
• The firm achieved a significant legal victory, allowing the case to proceed and setting a new precedent in Canadian litigation.
• Leveraging its strengths in personal injury and medical malpractice, the firm is expanding into mass torts and environmental cases, aiming to drive systemic change and broaden its impact nationwide.
Managing partner Greg Neinstein describes the firm’s work against the social media giants as “one of the most important litigations of our time” and “the new big tobacco”. The firm represents the majority of school boards in Ontario, alleging that the companies have knowingly changed their algorithms to impact children. However, there was a motion to say the case couldn’t proceed as the school boards are not
the actual users of social media.
“We won the motion and, while we didn’t win the case, what the judge said was, ‘I want to hear about this,’” explains Neinstein. “There should be enough information available to allow us to proceed to the next step of the litigation, so that was a huge hurdle because it really was changing

areas gives it the financial freedom to pursue other avenues, along with opening doors to partnerships with US firms and a new understanding of non-class-action mass torts.
Especially during the last year, Neinstein secured a judgment of $17 million for a young woman who lost her limbs as a baby, and negotiated
“We’re not just a personal injury firm now. Our goal is to be the number one litigation firm in the country”
Greg Neinstein, Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers
the landscape of litigation in Canada.”
Taking on such a case also marks out 2025 as the culmination of a lot of hard work as it put Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers up against the biggest law firms in the world with vast resources, representing the largest global companies.
“The fact that we were able to go into the ring with these guys and at least show that we are on a par with them, or able to fight them tooth and nail, was really rewarding and satisfying,” adds Neinstein.
This type of high-profile work is only possible because of the firm’s core pillars of personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Success in these
a favourable settlement for a set of triplets who all have MS.
Neinstein says, “The fact that we have our core pillars of business and it supports these new initiatives, it shows that it takes a village. We look at it as a collaborative approach. This success doesn’t happen overnight; it was built over time.”
Neinstein didn’t necessarily plan to lead the firm to where it is in 2025. As things change, he reassesses his goals and remains flexible. Following the pandemic, he built out the firm’s downtown central Toronto office and the resulting collaborative atmosphere has become a big part of the firm’s day-to-day life.

“We have compassion and have to be trauma informed so we can be there for our clients who are under enormous stress”
Charles Gluckstein, Gluckstein Lawyers
This is how the firm, while socializing, heard news involving Meta and decided to take on the social media case.
“Someone said, ‘There’s a conference in Vegas,’ and next thing you know, we’re down in Vegas. Next thing, we’re representing all the school boards. Those things would not have happened if we were all at home.”
The firm’s development over the past year is an extension of Neinstein’s approach of actively wanting to be the weakest person in the room. He encourages the team to challenge, critique, and have healthy dialogues that push them all forward.
“Having that mentality allows you to have other smart people around without being afraid that they’ll take
over the room,” adds Neinstein. “I want to now continue using those skill sets to broaden our ability to go into new litigation that impact tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people and make change for the better.”
Gluckstein Lawyers – Creating connections
Story of 2025:
• Grown and diversified notably with its leadership in sensitive practice areas, especially sexual abuse and medical malpractice/ birth injury.
• Broadened its role in conferences and community outreach, and in using technology and AI to cope with new civil procedure reforms and heavy workloads.
• Sustained high performance by supporting staff well-being in a trauma-heavy practice and ensured its community impact extends beyond litigation results.
Managing partner Charles Gluckstein is particularly satisfied with how the medical malpractice team has performed in 2025.
He says, “I’m really excited about solidifying that group and, for me, their bench strength is one of the strongest in Canada.”
Extending its reach, Gluckstein
Lawyers ran four successful conferences over the last year, with an audience composed of lawyers, adjusters, opposing counsel, and survivors of trauma.
For almost 20 years, they have organized one such event that trains professionals and treatment providers about compassion fatigue.
Another was the inaugural Sexual Abuse Lawyers Alliance conference, which Gluckstein admits is sadly needed. The event aims to equip lawyers with the tools to be better prepared.
“Historic sexual abuse is unfortunately quite common as we’ve learned from the Catholic Church, and now we’re learning more from Children’s Aid. Also, as mental health becomes something that people are focusing on, which may have been suppressed before, more cases are coming out,” he says.
The firm also ran its Risky Business conference on “Medical Malpractice in a New Era,” along with an event for sexual abuse survivors.
“It’s a great way to educate and show the leadership that we bring in those practice areas. We started them virtually and most of them are now in person with some virtual options, but the attendees like to come and network,” says Gluckstein. “We’re doing it for the Birth Injury Lawyers Alliance next year and plans are underway for that.”


“We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we continue to grow, develop, learn, and we think, improve”
Richard Bogoroch, Bogoroch & Associates
Over the last five years, the firm has grown from 25 to 62 people –including six lawyers, bringing the total to 22 – which has necessitated looking after everyone.
Gluckstein and the leadership team ensure social workers and psychologists are accessible, along with taking everyone away on a retreat to bond and help them cope with the emotional demands of working in their practice areas.
This commitment to looking after others extends to the 40 to 60 initiatives and local partnerships the firm is involved in. This encompasses the brain injury community, sexual abuse outreach with shelters, fundraising, and even publishing guides on financial management for those who receive settlements and on
public resources for families living with children waiting for their lawsuit to conclude.
Gluckstein adds, “We’re very proud to do that. It’s not a monetary exchange; it’s something that we give back because we are part of the community. We call ourselves Full Circle Care, as for us it’s not just about the litigation.”
Bogoroch & Associates – AI power players
• Significant achievements in personal injury and medical malpractice, resolving complex cases involving spinal cord, orthopaedic, and brain injuries.
• The firm emphasized its commitment to continuous improvement, leveraging AI as a research tool while maintaining rigorous legal standards.
• Anticipating legislative changes in 2026, the team is preparing for an active year.
Founder and managing partner Richard Bogoroch has proven himself an advocate for AI and appreciates its effect. Over the past year, the Toronto-based firm has sensibly explored this.
“We’re certainly not using it to write
legal documents. That would not be appropriate at this stage,” he says. “It’s a tool that assists lawyers and makes sure they are aware of recent medical developments in science and in the areas that are the matters of litigation. It assists lawyers in making sure that they are current, up to date, and have the correct information.”
This desire to stay ahead of the curve is rooted in the firm’s deep sense of mission and responsibility to injured victims, with a culture that values conviction, grit, and never taking recognition for granted.
“We fight on behalf of injured victims and have to be tenacious, determined, and persistent,” says Bogoroch.
Being honoured for its 2025 performance enshrines the firm as a serial winner with a collection of awards already under its belt. But avoiding complacency and keeping standards high is easier said than done.
Bogoroch adds, “We don’t falter in our determination to obtain justice, and that drives us to make sure we are getting our clients the compensation they are entitled to.
That is our abiding goal, which motivates us every single day, because a lot of people are suffering without the compensation that we can get them.”
McLeish Orlando LLP – Social working
• Addressing the loss of in-person interaction, the firm invested in collaborative office spaces and social events, fostering engagement among staff and clients.
• The adoption of AI has improved efficiency and legal research, with roles evolving rather than being eliminated.
• Continued investment in technology and people, along with a focus on inclusive culture, underpins the firm’s sustained success and future growth.
Principal partner Patrick Brown wanted to turn back time. He recalls his formative years socializing with colleagues, sharing meals, resolving cases, and helping one another.
Concerned that those benefits are out of reach in today’s remote working era, Brown and the leadership team designed a lounge for all staff to enjoy. It has been used to invite other law firms to events like euchre tournaments. Other social activities include baseball tournaments, cocktail nights, canine day, and karaoke.
“We’re trying to see other lawyers and have that personal contact, and I can tell you the younger lawyers
love it,” Brown says.
Most of the firm’s lawyers come in five days a week due to McLeish Orlando’s environment and inviting culture.
Brown explains, “Whether it’s the law students and the lawyers or other staff members, they can interact by using places like the lounge and other social areas to have more integrative conversations instead of looking at each other on the screen.”
However, while this has raised spirits, it has also had a direct impact on the firm’s performance across 2025. Being able to share experiences and lessons has led McLeish Orlando’s team to better understand AI.
The firm turns down around 95 percent of the cases it is offered due to being at capacity, but the lawyers feel they could increase that and maintain quality by using AI correctly.
For example, Brown was surprised to learn that, in one of his cases in the Court of Appeal, a key witness was identified by a student knocking on doors, whereas in the past, they would have conducted library research – a task that now requires less time due to AI assistance. And like with motivation behind their office environment, McLeish Orlando is putting its people above all else.
“I don’t think we’re going to lose good staff. Their roles are going to change, and they won’t be doing what

“We attract good young lawyers who stay with us. In our firm, I’m the only person who didn’t come up here through article training and that’s telling. It gives us the culture and the quality we want”
Patrick Brown, McLeish Orlando Lawyers

I did earlier in my career,” says Brown. “It’s changing times, but I must say I’m excited by how we’re embracing it, and hopefully, it’s going to guide us to where we want to get to next year, the year after, and the year after that.”

BOGOROCH & ASSOCIATES has made its mark in personal injury and medical malpractice law.
Based in Toronto, the firm is led by managing partner Richard Bogoroch, whose courtroom experience and leadership have shaped how the firm handles high-stakes cases with focus, precision, and accountability.
The team includes several Lexpertranked lawyers, many of whom bring deep knowledge in law and medicine. Clients don’t seek them out with easy problems. They come for guidance through the fallout of life-changing events and in search of good results.
The firm’s reputation was reinforced in 2025, when CanadianLawyer once again named Bogoroch & Associates to its list of Canada’s Top Personal Injury Boutiques.
“Client empowerment has always been central to our standard of service,” says Bogoroch. “Personal injury and medical malpractice litigation serve individuals whose lives have been upended by trauma. Ensuring that their stories are heard, their experiences acknowledged, and their rights upheld through fair and appropriate compensation remains a core mandate of the firm.”
The courtroom is familiar ground for Bogoroch & Associates. They know how to navigate complex trials and appeals, and they do it with a level of focus that’s honed over years at the
personal injury bar.
“We are steadfast advocates, committed to advancing our clients’ cases with determination, persistence, and compassion,” Bogoroch adds.
The firm’s operations back that up. Before virtual litigation became the norm, Bogoroch & Associates built systems to keep files organized and moving. So, when the courts went remote, they didn’t scramble; they adjusted. Trials, mediations, and hearings continued without disruption.
Client relationships are built with the same care and attention, with realistic timelines, straightforward advice, and proactive communication. That kind of transparency gives people confidence in the process and the team handling their case.
“By amplifying their voices and equipping them with knowledge and sound legal counsel, we enable clients to make informed, often life-changing decisions,” says Bogoroch.
Most new clients come as referrals from existing and former clients who are grateful for what the firm has accomplished for them.
Inside the firm, culture matters. Associates and articling students are mentored, co-op students are trained with care, and leadership is accessible. Town halls and guest speakers are part of the workplace, and while the work is serious, the environment feels like a team.
That tone comes from the top. With decades of trial experience, Bogoroch and senior partner Heidi Brown still bring the same focus to each file and the same belief in public service. The firm supports community organizations and stays involved well beyond the legal sphere.
For this team, success is measured in what clients walk away with –legal results and a sense that someone listened, cared, and fought for a just outcome.
The firm’s reputation extends beyond its legal work. Bogoroch and Brown, together with their partners, Yoni Silberman and Mahsa Dabirian, along with their teams, have long supported access-to-justice initiatives and legal education, regularly contributing time and resources to organizations that serve the broader community.
That support shows up in Bogoroch & Associates’ contributions to causes in healthcare, access to justice, and community services, reflecting a belief that advocacy doesn’t end at the courthouse. Professional growth is also part of the culture. Several lawyers at the firm hold civil litigation specialist designations and regularly speak at conferences or lead continuing education sessions.
Bogoroch & Associates’ ongoing investment keeps the team sharp, connected, and trusted in the profession and by the clients they serve.

PRO BONO ONTARIO (PBO) is an access-to-justice charity founded in 2001. PBO’s mission is to harness the skills and commitment of volunteer lawyers to address low-income Ontarians’ unmet civil law problems to help them lead secure, healthy, and productive lives. PBO delivers on this mission by developing and directly managing pro bono programs that enable lawyers to provide high-quality legal services to those who cannot afford a lawyer or qualify for government-funded legal assistance. Since its creation, PBO has provided direct legal services to 300,000 clients who had nowhere else to turn for their everyday legal problems.
