Heather Austin-Skaret, Co-Managing Partner at Mann Lawyers LLP and Merredith MacLennan, Partner at Merovitz Potechin LLP will be the guests. Between them, they’ve tackled everything from mentorship and managing files to business development and specialization, and they’re both recipients of the CCLA’s Abe Feinstein Solicitor Award, with Heather receiving the award just this year.
This session isn’t just for those pursuing traditional solicitor paths like real estate, corporate or wills and estates. If you’re drawn to the solicitor side of family law, employment law or other practice areas, this session is absolutely for you too.
