Kim's specialty topics

Kim Champion is Senior Writer of Special Reports for Canadian Lawyer, where she covers the firms, lawyers, and market forces shaping Canada's legal industry. Her reporting spans law firm rankings across practice areas including family law, personal injury, criminal law, corporate law, and labour and employment, along with regional firm strength across Quebec, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, legal technology and service providers, and the rising and most influential lawyers setting the standard across the profession. She's driven by curiosity about what makes these leaders and firms excellent at what they do, and by the challenge of telling their stories well. Kim brings over two decades of journalism experience to the role, including B2B special reports and sponsored content across the legal, insurance, mortgage, human resources, and financial sectors. As a founding reporter for a digital-first community news outlet, part of one of Canada's largest hyperlocal news networks, she set the editorial tone for its local journalism, pairing storytelling that celebrated the community with hard-hitting coverage of issues such as homelessness and poverty. Prior to that, she led award-winning newsrooms from Parry Sound to York Region, setting the gold standard for enterprise reporting in local politics, and her own agenda-setting work in community journalism earned two provincial news awards for editorial writing within a five-year span, along with regional and international recognition. She is known for producing high-impact industry coverage that pairs data and expert insight with compelling storytelling. A love of community and a desire to help make it better anchor her volunteer work, particularly with the Spelling Bee of Canada.
