The 2016 Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada has placed Davies at the centre of the bull’s eye for corporate transactions relative to firm size in Toronto and Montréal, and for tax in Montréal. Thirty Davies partners are profiled, and the firm has the highest percentage of lawyer recognitions of any firm included in the guide.
Additionally, the publication contains two articles by Davies lawyers: Luis Sarabia, Matthew Milne-Smith and Steven Frankel review the important distinctions that exist between Canada and the United States concerning the conduct of securities class proceedings; Neil Kravitz explores the rising popularity of dual-class IPOs in Canada.
A collaboration between Lexpert and American Lawyer Media, The Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada profiles the top-ranked lawyers across Canada in approximately 35 practice areas identified via an annual peer survey. Law firm positions in the bull’s eye charts depend on the cumulative recognition their individual lawyers have achieved in these surveys.
