EVENT PARTNER LEXPERT RISING STARS: CELEBRATING CANADA'S TOP LAWYERS 40 AND UNDER Each year, Lexpert honours the achievements of Canada's most exceptional young lawyers at the Lexpert Rising Stars Awards. Hailing from in-house legal departments, government, and law firms, this year's cohort of winners – all of whom are aged 40 and under – have already made a mark on the legal community. Each winner was nominated by other members of the legal profession, and selected by Lexpert's advisory panel of legal leaders. Attendees at this year's Lexpert Rising Stars Awards celebrated the winners on Nov. 20th at a formal gala at Toronto's Liberty Grand. The event was hosted by Jennifer Hsiung, co-anchor of CP24 Breakfast, Toronto's most-watched morning show, and would not have been possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors. These include event partner Dye & Durham; gold sponsor Langlois Lawyers; silver sponsors Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Crawley MacKewn Brush LLP, EY LLP, McMillan LLP and Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP; education partner Osgoode Hall Law School / Osgoode Professional Development; associate sponsor Liberty Entertainment Group; media partners and supporting organizations Black Law Students Association, Korean Canadian Lawyers Association, and South Asian Bar Association of Toronto; and official media and supporting publications Lexpert, Canadian Lawyer, and Law Times. Reflecting on his selection as a Lexpert Rising Star, Adam Ngan, a partner at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP whose practice covers pensions, benefits and executive compensation law, told Lexpert, "I'm honoured to be recognized among so many accomplished peers. It is a privilege to have the trust and support of so many wonderful clients, colleagues and mentors. "Helping pension plan administrators, funds, and sponsors navigate their complex legal matters has been incredibly rewarding," he added. Amanda Cohen, an associate at Hicks Morley who was also named a Lexpert Rising Star this year, said, "I am honoured to be recognized by Lexpert as one of Canada's Rising Stars. This recognition means so much – it reflects the support of incredible mentors, colleagues and clients who have shaped my journey. I am excited to keep building on this momentum and to support the next generation of leaders in our profession." Lexpert extends its heartfelt thanks to all sponsors and partners who made this year's celebration possible. www.risingstarscanada.com SUPPORTING MEDIA ORGANIZER OFFICIAL MEDIA #LexpertRisingStars SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS EDUCATION PARTNER ASSOCIATE SPONSOR
