EDITORIAL fortuna favet fortibus JUNE 2013 Editor-in-Chief: Jean Cumming Project Editor: Gina Fusco Project Process Lead: Jill Grove Managing Editor: Tim Wilbur Art Director: Brianna Freitag Art Director: John Kieffer Cover Photography: Don Dixon RELIABLE DATA IN A COMPLICATED WORLD DUE TO GLOBAL ECONOMIC factors, even the ever-stable and steady nation of Canada, with its well-regulated banking system, natural resources and continuing government, faces its share of complications in 2013. If you are based in the US, where do you seek and find authoritative and reliable recommendations for professionals to help you and your clients through these complications? When it comes to Canadian legal advisors, consider Lexpert. Lawyers are ranked here by peer survey, and we have a response rate on those surveys that exceeds 80 percent. Lexpert has spoken with many of the lawyers voting over the years as to why they vote for their colleagues. They are likely to cite collegiality, integrity and adding value to deal resolution — that is, finding ways to achieve the intention of their clients. Remember, it is lawyers in the same areas of practice as those on the ballot who are voting. Underlying our question, "Who would you recommend…" is the implied phrase, "…if you were unable to take the file." There has to be trust involved when one lawyer checks off another's name. Readers of this Guide know well that high on the client intention priority list is the imperative to manage against risk. Your clients are out to create and enhance their businesses, and in 2013 especially, you'd like a strong dose of stability in your legal service. In this context, we trust it is beneficial to have this information on peer-recommended lawyers.
