Stars on the Rise
by Jean Cumming

Lexpert® pays tribute to a special group of upcoming stars of the legal profession in its annual Lexpert® Rising Stars – Leading Lawyers Under 40 gala dinner and awards presentation

It is time, once again, to introduce our Lexpert® Rising Stars. Again this year, we received hundreds of impressive nomination forms. Clearly, the under-40 Bar is not using a diminished economy as an excuse to diminish their professional and personal contributions.

The Rising Stars take centre stage in November at a gala dinner and awards presentation at the Arcadian Court in Toronto, along with special keynote speaker Dambisa Moyo, the author of Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa. Heather Hiscox, the host of CBC News: Morning, returns this year as emcee of the event.
