OFFICIAL MEDIA SUPPORTING MEDIA ORGANIZER
The Lexpert Rising Stars Awards are presented
by Lexpert magazine and supported by Canadian
Lawyer and InHouse magazines.
Lexpert Rising Stars honours the exceptional
legal professionals in the 40-and-under age range.
Lawyers nominated their colleagues and peers for
the outstanding contributions they have made to
the legal sphere. An extensive independent judging
panel reviewed the submissions and cast their votes.
Key Media is grateful for the judges' contributions
to selecting excellence and is excited to celebrate
the winners' achievements on Thursday, Nov. 23,
at the Liberty Grand in Toronto. Thank you to our
event sponsors: Event Partner Fasken, Innovation
Partner Dye & Durham, and Silver Sponsors
Norton Rose Fulbright, LEAP, and Blake Cassels &
Graydon LLP.
With so much outstanding talent to choose
from, selecting the Rising Stars is a tough
challenge, according to this year's judges.
"I've been a panelist since 2019, and there's not
been a single year when it has been easy," says Nora
Osbaldeston, Ontario regional managing partner
at Miller Thomson LLP. "It's really important
that we're picking candidates that represent rich
but very different contributions that our lawyers
make in the legal profession across the country.
In that way, it is always a challenge to assess very
significant but different contributions."
Leola Pon is associate director of education,
organizational transformation and accountability
at the Toronto District School Board.
"It's probably one of the most difficult
assignments to do because there are a lot of
good candidates with a really diverse set of
experiences and accomplishments," says Pon. "One
of the greatest challenges is trying to find what
distinguishes one from another."
