Celebrating Legal Administrative Professionals' Day!

About the Outstanding Legal Administrative Professional Award

Every law firm relies on a team of dedicated professionals who work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. Legal administrative professionals are the backbone of these operations, managing schedules, coordinating documents, and keeping firms efficient. In honor of Administrative Professionals' Day, Tracument set out to spotlight these invaluable team members with our Outstanding Legal Administrative Professional Award.

This initiative was born out of a desire to celebrate the individuals whose dedication often goes unrecognized. Their meticulous attention to detail and ability to keep things running seamlessly deserve recognition—not just today, but every day.

Appreciating Legal Administrative Professionals

We were truly moved by the overwhelming response from law firms across Canada. The outpouring of nominations was a testament to the deep appreciation colleagues have for their administrative teams. Each nomination told a story of hard work, resilience, and commitment.

While selecting just one winner was a challenge, we're thrilled to congratulate Luxana Kirubaharan—a superhuman tech and administrative wizard at MacDonald Injury Law. Known as the bright heart of the team, Luxana is kind, dedicated, and always ready to help. From tech support to legal tasks to lifting spirits, she does it all with a smile. Though the most junior, she's the go-to person who keeps everything running—and lifts everyone up along the way. Thank you for embodying the very best qualities of a legal administrative professional!
