LEXPERT MAGAZINE | MARCH/APRIL 2018 5 LEXPERT.CA Jean Cumming Editor-in-Chief 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. fortuna favet fortibus MARCH/APRIL VOLUME 19 NO. 4 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Jean Cumming EDITOR David Dias SENIOR EDITOR Elizabeth Raymer ASSOCIATE EDITOR Gena Smith ART DIRECTOR Brianna Freitag COVER PHOTO Kevin Hewitt DIRECTOR/GROUP PUBLISHER, CARSWELL MEDIA Karen Lorimer BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT Ivan Ivanovitch BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER Kimberlee Pascoe ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE Steffanie Munroe MARKETING & CIRCULATION Mohammad Ali PRODUCTION COORDINATOR Joanne Richardson (416) 649-8818 joanne.richardson@tr.com Lexpert® Magazine is published seven times a year by Thomson Reuters Canada Limited.
