Dentons’ Doris Bonora, Q.C. recognized in Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2020 as a top lawyer for private wealth law in Canada

Edmonton—Dentons is proud to congratulate partner Doris Bonora, Q.C. on her recognition as a top lawyer in private wealth law in this year’s Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide.

Doris is the head of Dentons' Trust, Estates and Wealth Preservation group in Canada. Her exceptional career has spanned more than 30 years, with a focus on will planning, estate planning, estate administration, estate litigation, trusts, business succession, international cross border planning, trust litigation, and vulnerable population planning.

Doris has distinguished herself as a major force in this area and is sought-after by clients, not only for her superior technical skills, but for her tailored and personal approach.

Clients had high praise for Doris, as described in Chambers’ review.

Doris Bonora of Dentons Canada LLP "is extremely strong at estate litigation" particularly for clients with family members living with disability. One source praises Bonora for this work, saying: "If our clients have family members with disabilities, I send all of that work to Doris as she has handled those cases the best that I have ever seen." Another says: "She is very efficient and compassionate. She really does look for the human qualities in cases, she is very humane. When she talks to our clients, she really does talk from a personal and human perspective. She comes across as a family friend as opposed to a lawyer, and I really appreciate that."

Doris also gives back generously to her community. She works with the Seniors Association of Greater Edmonton (SAGE), provides estate-planning advice through the Alzheimer Society, and offers estate planning for families who have disabled children. She is a Board member of the Covenant Health Foundation, Commissioner for the Alberta Human Rights Commission, Sessional Lecturer at the University of Alberta Law School, and STEP Canada member and presenter.

The Chambers HNW Guide 2020 is used by family offices and professional advisers to wealthy individuals, providing objective guidance on an international scale. The recommendations are based on in-depth analysis provided by a team of experienced researchers at Chambers.
