With a history spanning over 100 years, Harper Grey has a long history of guiding clients through legal complexities both inside and outside the courtroom. Read more about our firm here https://lnkd.in/gpymhtck To name the recipients of this recognition, Canadian Lawyer asked readers to vote for the top full-service regional firms in Western Canada. In the survey, which took place between August 5 to 27, 2024, respondents were asked to rank up to 10 firms from a long list provided. They were also given the option of adding a firm not included in that list. The respondents were asked to vote for firms based on their regional service coverage, client base, notable mandates, service excellence, and legal expertise of the firms. To qualify for the list and be voted for, firms were required to have offices in Alberta, British Columbia, or the Northern Territories and offer a wide range of legal services. Voters ranked firms from 1 to 10, with first-place votes earning 10 points and points decreasing by one up to one point for a 10th-place vote. Points were added up and the firms were ranked accordingly. The quantitative results were combined with the Lexpert peer survey results, where applicable, along with feedback from respected senior members of the bar.
