Awards
Best Law Firms
Trusts & Estates
2025
Fern Law received the distinction of Best Law Firm the very first year of this distinction coming into existence in 2025. In this inaugural year Fern Law received Tier 1 recognition in the jurisdiction of Toronto in the area of Trusts and Estates. Similar to Best Lawyers, this distinction is peer-voted but voting for Best Law Firm also includes recommendations and input from clients of the firm and other professionals. Clients and professional references are asked to provide feedback on firm performance addressing six criteria: expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, integrity and recommendability.
Canadian Lawyer
Top 10 in Canada - Wills, Trusts and Estates Boutique
2025-26
Fern Law received this award in 2026 for the first time. Canadian Lawyer magazine asked readers from across Canada to vote on the top wills, estates, and trust boutiques. To be considered in the vote, firms were required to have the majority of their business come from their work from wills, trusts, and estate law. The final rankings were determined through a points system in which firms were rewarded on a sliding scale for the number of votes by ranking.
After only being open for two years, this is an incredible honour.
