We are pleased to announce that six of our lawyers have been recognized by their peers for inclusion in the 2021 edition of Best Lawyers in Canada, including Joseph Miller, Q.C., who was named “Lawyer of the Year” for Edmonton in the Personal Injury Litigation category. This is the third time Joe has been named “Lawyer of the Year”, having previously received this recognition in 2010 and 2019. The “Lawyer of the Year” designation recognizes the individual lawyer with the best overall peer-feedback in his or her geographic region in a specific field of law. 

The complete list of Weir Bowen lawyers recognized by Best Lawyers includes:

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The lands on which Edmonton sits and the North Saskatchewan River that runs through it have been the sites of natural abundance, ceremony and culture, travel and rest, relationship building, making, and trading for Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. Edmonton is located within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Metis homelands and Metis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations such as the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuline (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Weir Bowen acknowledges the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
