ELIGIBILITY: All In-House Counsel called in 2015 or later, regardless of position.

The role and stature of General Counsel has grown enormously during the last 30 years. The Tomorrow’s Leader award seeks to recognize individuals who will help continue this evolution into the future.

Seeking to highlight and encourage a leader of the general counsel bar of tomorrow in his/her growth and development, judges will be looking for counsel that has been called to a Canadian Bar from 2015 or later. Nominated counsel will not only demonstrate superior legal capability but also demonstrate great leadership through actions and attitude when facing significant transactions or litigation that affects the business.
