Gowlings took home top honours in the Canada Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year category at the 2015 International Tax Review (ITR) Americas Tax Awards last week in New York City. The firm was recognized for its unparalleled expertise in transfer pricing, strong commitment to client service and leading industry work, and was also shortlisted for the Americas Tax Restructuring Deal of the Year category.

"It recognizes our unwavering commitment to achieving the highest possible standards of expertise, service and value - which our clients can expect from every tax professional at Gowlings."

Held annually, the ITR Americas Tax Awards recognize the expertise of both North and South American firms and in-house teams for excellence in tax and transfer pricing work completed throughout the year. In selecting nominees, ITR considers the quality of each firm's tax work, as well as its reputation and client base.
