The Globe & Mail’s Best Law Firms 2025: Ranking Methodology

The Globe & Mail’s Best Law Firms list is based on an extensive survey conducted by Statista. Nearly 25,000 lawyers, in-house counsel, and legal executives from across Canada were invited to participate, with more than 3,100 professionals responding. Participants provided over 10,000 recommendations across 31 fields of law.
