The Lexpert Rising Stars Awards will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12 in Toronto
Canadian Lawyer and Lexpert’s annual celebration of Canada’s most talented lawyers aged 40 and under is a month away, but there’s still time to register to attend this year’s bash.
The Lexpert Rising Stars Awards will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12 at the Liberty Grand in Toronto.
The formal gala, which attracted nearly 500 attendees last year, will kick off with a cocktail reception, followed by a dinner banquet and awards ceremony hosted by award-winning journalist and former national news anchor Farah Nasser.
Winners of the 2026 Lexpert Rising Stars Awards – a hand-picked selection of the country’s most exceptional young lawyers across law firms, legal departments, government, and academia – will be announced at the awards ceremony.
Upon being named a Lexpert Rising Star last year, Ryann Atkins, a partner at Stockwoods LLP, said, “For me, this award represents the mentors who have taught me, the people who have given me opportunities, and the firms that have supported me throughout my career.
“It’s an opportunity to mark a milestone and celebrate with friends and family,” Atkins added.
