Wagners Law Firm, a Halifax-based personal injury firm, has announced that eight of its lawyers have been recognized in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in Canada™ and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada™. The recognitions span several areas of legal practice, including personal injury litigation, class action litigation, medical negligence, product liability law, and appellate practice.
The honourees include Loreatha Boehner (Personal Injury Litigation), Kate Boyle (Class Action Litigation), Madeleine Carter (Class Action Litigation), Lyndsay Jardine, K.C. (Personal Injury Litigation; Product Liability Law), Peter McVey, K.C. (Appellate Practice), Lisa Wagner (Personal Injury Litigation), Raymond F. Wagner, K.C. (Class Action Litigation; Medical Negligence; Personal Injury Litigation), and Lauren Harper (Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada™, Medical Negligence).
Best Lawyers uses a peer-review process for its annual recognitions. Lawyers are nominated and evaluated by other legal professionals practicing in the same geographic and legal practice areas. Reviewers consider the professional abilities and experience of candidates based on their knowledge of the law, professional conduct, and reputation among peers. The Ones to Watch recognition similarly recognizes lawyers who have demonstrated professional excellence earlier in their careers.
