WeirFoulds is pleased to announce that Partner Lucinda Main, Co-Chair of the firm's Wills, Trusts & Estates Practice Group, has been listed in the Private Client Global Elite Directory 2025. Lucy was ranked in the Estates: Planning, Probate, and Trusts: Planning specialisms.
The Directory is the only private wealth listing that is purely peer-nominated. The Directory ranks the top 250 practitioners within the private wealth industry as chosen by their own peers. Lawyers who are included in the Directory are eligible to join the Private Client Global Elite private membership group.
Lucy's practice focuses exclusively on estate and trust planning and administration. Advising Canadian and international clients on a wide range of estate and trust matters, Lucy drafts estate planning documents, establishes private charitable foundations, guides beneficiaries of estates and facilitates the administration of estates and trusts.
Lucy helps build estate plans that center on tax efficiencies (be it Canadian income tax, Ontario estate administration tax and/or foreign inheritance and succession taxes) while meeting her clients' equally important non-tax goals. She helps with the smooth and efficient administration of estates and trusts, particularly where there are private company shares, valuable artwork or other collectables and foreign assets involved.
Her work and achievements in this practice area were recognized in 2016 when she was awarded the Ontario Bar Association's Hoffstein Book Prize. Since 2019 she has been included every year in the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory as a leading practitioner in Estate & Personal Tax Planning. In addition, every year since 2020 she has been listed by Best Lawyers in Canada as a leading lawyer in Trusts and Estates and was recognized by the organization as "Lawyer of the Year – Toronto" in Trusts and Estates in 2024.
