The Best Lawyers in Canada 2022 in Labour and Employment Law

 Our Founding partners Daniel Lublin and David Whitten are recognized in the 16^th Edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada 2022 in Labour and Employment Law.  Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review.  The methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.

The Canadian HR Reporter Readers’ Choice Awards highlight HR vendors and suppliers who are the best at what they do, as selected by HR professionals. In 2018, there were more than 65,000 votes cast to determine the award winners and Whitten & Lublin was delighted to be named as one of the Best Employment & Labour Firms in Canada. Whitten & Lublin is pleased to hold this distinction in every year since 2016.

Recognition in the Canadian Lexpert® Directory is an acknowledgement of excellence by a practitioner’s own peers and colleagues. In 2020, Lexpert contacted 508 employment lawyers across Canada and asked them to complete a detailed questionnaire identifying who in their opinion were the leading practitioners in their province. In Ontario, the response rate was 74.1%. 

To receive this award, a lawyer must be nominated by a Lexpert-ranked lawyer in their same practice area. Nominations are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. Determination for ranking within the Canadian Lexpert Directory is then based on the results of extensive voting by other lawyers, conducted in an annual survey.

Founding Partners, David Whitten and Daniel Lublin are pleased to have received this prestigious distinction in each of the past 5 years.
