Torkin Manes is pleased to announce that Lexology has selected Lisa R. Lifshitz as the sole recipient of the 2025 Client Choice Award in the area of Data in Ontario. 

A trusted advisor to numerous stakeholders, Lisa specializes in the areas of information technology and business law, and is the founder and Chair of the firm’s Technology and Privacy & Data Management Groups. She provides technology-related advice on financings and acquisitions, including cross-border deals, and advises on various IT contracts, including cloud computing, IoT, AI/smart contracts, fintech, blockchain and open source legal matters. Lisa has considerable experience helping non-Canadian companies, especially American entities, create appropriate legal agreements for their entry into the Canadian marketplace.

To complement her practice, Lisa is a prolific writer and sought-after speaker on various topics related to privacy, cybersecurity and data management, and has been consistently recognized as an elite industry leader in technology, privacy and cybersecurity law.

A testament to her excellence in client service, as well as in practice, this designation is another elite accolade that comes on the heels of her honour as “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in Canada, reinforcing Lisa’s standing as a leading lawyer in Canada and internationally. 

Established in 2005, the Client Choice Awards (in association with Lexology) recognize law firm partners, consulting experts and barristers that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service. Uniquely, individuals can only be nominated for these awards by clients. The Lexology research team has canvassed hundreds of thousands of in-house counsel and law firm users from the Lexology readership in the course of its research around the world. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is chosen as the recipient of the Client Choice Award.

Congratulations to Lisa on this well-earned achievement.
