Best Lawyers Award Badge

Robertson Stromberg is proud to announce that 14 of its lawyers have been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada, with three named “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective practice areas and one recognized on the “Ones to Watch” list.

Best Lawyers® is renowned for its trusted, peer-reviewed recognition of outstanding legal professionals, empowering clients to confidently choose experienced and credible counsel.

Lawyer of the Year

Each year, only a single lawyer in each practice area and community is honoured with the “Lawyer of the Year” designation, awarded to those who have received the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area. This year, three Robertson Stromberg lawyers earned that distinction: M. Kim Anderson, K.C., for Banking and Finance Law; Jared D. Epp for Construction Law; and Scott D. Waters, K.C., for Real Estate Law.

Ones to Watch

Best Lawyers’ “Ones to Watch” list recognizes lawyers who are earlier in their careers but are already distinguishing themselves through the quality of their work and the respect of their peers. James D. Steele was named to the Ones to Watch list (since 2026) for Trusts and Estates.

Congratulations to all of our lawyers listed in this year’s guide!
