Goodmans Named Canada's #1 Restructuring Team Again in 2015
Goodmans’ Corporate Restructuring team continues to be seen as the leading restructuring firm in Canada. We are pleased to acknowledge a number of significant recognitions for the team this Fall:
- Chambers Canada recognizes the firm as having the sole #1 restructuring practice in Canada in the publication’s inaugural edition noting "They are in a class of their own." and “They're certainly the best in Canada - a great combination of legal and commercial savvy.";
- For the 14th year in a row, Chambers Global ranks the team as the only top-tier firm in the country;
- The Legal 500 Canada recognizes the Goodmans team as “best-in-class advisers” for restructuring; Since its first edition, the team has been ranked the sole #1 restructuring practice nationwide;
- For the 11th consecutive year, International Financial Law Review (IFLR) has ranked Goodmans as the #1 restructuring practice in Canada.
Chambers Canada, Chambers Global, IFLR 1000 and The Legal 500 Canada, publishers of the world's leading guides to the legal profession, research the strengths and reputations of international law firms and attorneys through in-depth interviews with peer and competing-firm attorneys, in-house counsel and significant purchasers of legal services.
