Hi everyone,

I am currently managing an estate matter that involves intricate tax implications across multiple provinces, and I’ve realized the necessity of hiring experienced lawyers in Canada. 

While junior associates are often more cost-effective, I am concerned that lack of historical case knowledge might lead to oversights in specialized probate law. 

Have you found that a lawyer’s "years in practice" is the most reliable indicator of their ability to handle unconventional legal hurdles? I am seeking advice on how to balance seniority with specialized niche expertise when selecting a lead counsel for a long-term project. 

Your experiences would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance..
