On May 7, 2026, Benchmark Litigation hosted the 14th annual Benchmark Canada Awards in Toronto at the Ritz-Carlton, where we recognized the country's most distinguished litigators and their firms for their work over the past 12 months.

We hope you found this year's ceremony engaging and delivered the recognition your exemplary work deserves. The Benchmark Canada Awards are about recognizing you - the top litigators and your firms. Being nominated certainly reflects its own share of impressive performance and influence on the legal landscape over the past year. Each year, the competition is fierce and the selection process becomes more and more difficult. After months of peer-and-client-review-based research and analysis of submissions and recent casework – we’ve arrived at the 2026 Benchmark Canada Awards.

Congratulations to the 2026 winners!
