Benchmark Canada recognizes 9 Lerners Lawyers as Litigation Stars

Congratulations to the 9 lawyers from our Toronto and London offices who are recognized as “Litigation Stars” for their leading expertise in the 2019 edition of Benchmark Canada:

• Robert Bell: Appellate; Product Liability
• Earl Cherniak QC: Arbitration; Class Action; General Commercial
• Cynthia Kuehl: Health
• Angus McKinnon: Class Action; Competition; General Commercial
• Lisa Munro: Appellate; General Commercial
• William Pepall: Appellate; Class Action; General Commercial
• Andrea Plumb: General Commercial; Health
• Anne Spafford: Health; Insurance
• Jason Squire: Class Action; General Commercial

We were also recognized as a recommended firm, with Benchmark noting:

“A full-service firm with a pronounced emphasis on litigation, Lerners sets itself apart from many other firms in Ontario. Its origins lie in London, where it still houses a healthy percentage of litigators and enjoys a stature on par with its Toronto counterpart. It is also one of the few litigation shops to offer a range of services falling outside of the typical stream of Bay Street corporate-driven work, attending to matters including health law, professional liability, family law, and personal injury.”

About Benchmark:

Benchmark Litigation is the definitive guide to the market’s leading litigation firms and lawyers. The results stem from the culmination of a four to six month research period in which researchers conduct extensive interviews with litigators and their clients to identify the leading litigators and firms. Recommendations are based on interviews with the nation’s leading private practice lawyers and in-house counsel.
