Thirty appeals before the Supreme Court of Canada mark the commercial and public law practice of Adam, named alongside James and Jeremy as a Lexpert Rising Star for 2026.

Three lawyers under the age of forty at McCarthy Tétrault received the Rising Stars 2026 award from Lexpert on November 13, 2026. The distinction recognizes lawyers who demonstrate client service excellence, professional leadership, and community contribution.

“Cette marque de reconnaissance est amplement méritée,” Sunil Kapur, associé et chef de la direction, told mccarthy.ca. “Adam, James et Jeremy allient un talent juridique exceptionnel à une rare capacité à rassembler les gens, à remettre en question les conventions et à permettre aux autres de s’épanouir.”

Shevaun McGrath, co‑cheffe du groupe Capital-investissement et leader nationale, Initiatives stratégiques, also praised the trio for embodying the firm’s commitment to innovation and excellence.

“Nos trois Étoiles montantes incarnent l’engagement de notre Cabinet en faveur de l’excellence, de l’esprit d’innovation et du leadership,” McGrath told mccarthy.ca.
