EDITORIAL
A Good Year
ON THE CANADIAN DEALMAKERS AWARDS, Lexpert partners with De-
loitte, e Globe and Mail and omson Reuters Financial & Risk to pro-
vide you with an opportunity to recognize and celebrate your clients' wins. In
2017, leading companies entered into M&A transactions at the highest level
of volume in five years. e credit goes to these companies, and their lead-
ers, for their creativity, ambition and ingenuity. And credit goes to you, their
counsel, in a best supporting — yet strategic — role.
Between the Canadian Dealmakers awards program and Lexpert's earlier
Top 10 Deals (see our January/February 2018 issue), dare we say that it sounds
as though 2017 was a good year for Canadian business and the law firms that
acted on their M&A transactions?
We're very curious to know, in light of it being a good year: did law firms
find new ways to maximize their efficiency and productivity for clients? Did
you introduce new Artificial Intelligence, Project Management or Alternative
Service Providers on M&A? If so, did this result in your being more and more
of a strategic partner with your clients, delivering heightened service as they
found themselves in new territory? Over the next year or so, we hope you let us
know of your new initiatives.
