Hammerco Partner Krista Simon has been included in the 2024 Edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada for her work in personal injury litigation and insurance law.
Recognition by Best Lawyers highlights excellence and top legal talent across Canada and is based entirely on peer review. Their belief has always been that the best lawyers practicing today know who the best lawyers are. Their peer review process sets out to capture this consensus through a rigorous nomination and voting process.
The lawyers recognized by Best Lawyers are the driving force behind a profession that is constantly evolving, while maintaining the integrity on which it was built. And we couldn’t agree more that Krista is deserving of this honour.
Krista has over 18 years of experience in civil litigation. She is the practice lead for Hammerco’s Estate Litigation group and works with clients across our civil sexual assault and abuse, elder abuse, and personal injury practice areas. She joined Hammerco in 2004 and was the first woman to join the partnership.
According to Best Lawyers, “The Best Lawyers in Canada recipients demonstrate a comprehensive expertise in their practices. Along with a deep understanding of the law and their practice, The Best Lawyers in Canada honourees are so acknowledged for their ethics, adaptation and leadership.”
Congratulations to Krista on her continued recognition by her peers and by Best Lawyers!
