Wagners Law Firm has announced that eight of its lawyers have been recognized in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in Canada™ and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada™. This recognition highlights the firm's continued excellence in several key areas of legal practice, including personal injury litigation, class action litigation, medical negligence, product liability law, and appellate practice.
The honourees include Loreatha Boehner (Personal Injury Litigation), Kate Boyle (Class Action Litigation), Madeleine Carter (Class Action Litigation), Lyndsay Jardine, K.C.

Best Lawyers employs a rigorous peer-review process, where lawyers are nominated and evaluated by other legal professionals in the same geographic and practice areas. This peer assessment considers professional abilities, experience, knowledge of the law, professional conduct, and reputation among peers. The Ones to Watch recognition is similarly earned, focusing on lawyers who have demonstrated professional excellence early in their careers. Being named to these lists is a significant achievement, reflecting the high esteem in which these lawyers are held by their peers.
