Webinar Description

Join us on January 18, 2024, for a dynamic webinar about levelling the playing field for internationally trained lawyers in Canada.

It's no secret that ITLs have a difficult time securing employment in Canada. From navigating accreditation hurdles, cultural barriers, and unconscious bias, the odds clearly favour those with Canadian work experience.

In an age where we're all trying to do what we can to level the playing field (see, for example, Ontario's recent announcement to ban requiring Canadian work experience), it's critical to learn about our panelists' experiences, insights, and perspectives in an effort to foster inclusivity and advance equitable pathways for talented ITLs.

Whether you're an ITL looking for employment, a legal employer, or someone who wants to learn more about this important issue, we'd love to have you join this important session led by Neda Canario, Vice President, Legal Recruitment at our sponsor, BJRC Recruiting.

Registration Closed.

On-demand access to the recording is available for members.
