The Western Legal Innovation Forum returns on the afternoons of November 25 + 26th, 2020 - the third annual forum focused on Alberta and BC’s legal sectors.

This year's forum focuses on the latest in Western Canada when it comes to the intersection of business and law, innovation and how the sector is responding to the disruption caused by COVID-19. The forum will be held virtually on Whova - a virtual event platform. By being virtual, it offers participants, presenters and sponsors a unique and engaging way to connect with their legal sector contemporaries in an innovative format.


The core objectives of the forum:

  • To provide legal practitioners with context, information and guidance on how Alberta and BC’s legal sectors are evolving their business and practice strategies in a disruptive era.

  • To encourage collaboration in the legal sector to tackle the toughest challenges it and the businesses they support are facing. And leveraging opportunities linked to these challenges.

  • To build a regional network of innovatorsfocused on managing change in the legal sector and aligning their strategies with broader business trends in the Albertan, British Columbian and Canadian economies.

  • Panel Themes:

    Economic/Substantive

    Navigating Canada’s shifting energy landscape.

  • Emerging trends in insolvency & bankruptcy.

  • When the rules change, how do law firms change with them?

  • Emerging labour and employment risks in the Covid-19 era

     

    The Business of Law

  • Doing business in the new normal. How has COVID-19 changed law firms?

  • The People Puzzle: how the legal sector is managing talent in an era of change.

  • Defining, developing and executing an impactful legal technology strategy.

  • The evolving role of in-house counsel.

     

Accreditation: 8 CPD hours pending from the Law Society of BC
