Aird & Berlis Named Top Planning and Development Law Firm in 2024 NRU GTHA Ranking
We are pleased to announce that our Municipal & Land Use Planning Group was the top firm in Novae Res Urbis’ (NRU) annual ranking of planning and development law firms in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
Aird & Berlis LLP has consistently been recognized as one of the top firms in NRU’s annual ranking of the GTHA’s most prominent planning and development firms since its inception 26 years ago. In this ranking, which looks at Ontario Land Tribunal decisions issued between August 2023 and July 2024, NRU noted that the “firm was active in all areas of the GTHA, on behalf of a diverse range of public and private-sector clients, and across a wide spectrum of land use appeals. In terms of its caseload, and its track record of overwhelmingly successful outcomes, Aird & Berlis came out on top of the competition.”
Congratulations to all members of our Municipal & Land Use Planning Group for this remarkable achievement!
