Best Lawyers has published their list for over three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 65 countries.

"For more than a third of a century," says CEO Steven Naifeh, "Best Lawyers has been the gold standard of excellence in the legal profession." President Phil Greer adds, "We are extremely proud of that record and equally proud to acknowledge the accomplishments of these exceptional legal professionals."

Lawyers on The Best Lawyers in Canada list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Three Fillmore Riley LLP lawyers also earned the “Lawyer of the Year” distinction. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honoured as the "Lawyer of the Year," making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer-review assessments. We congratulate the following lawyers:

Timothy S. Dewart
2017 "Lawyer of the Year" for Banking and Finance Law

Cy M. Fien
2017 "Lawyer of the Year" for Tax Law

Charles A. Sherbo
2017 "Lawyer of the Year" for Insurance Law

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
