Our bespoke database weights each recommendation based on the nominator`s position: for example, a vote from the general counsel of a large corporation or one of the most prominent minds in the field carries more weight than that of a less frequently appointed lawyer. The person with the highest score in our research will be named WWL Lawyer or Expert of the Year. Toronto (Canada) – Fasken has received major awards at the 2020 Who`s Who Legal Awards.
