It was a privilege to co-host GCs and other in-house legal leaders from some of Canada’s most dynamic organizations with the National GC Network earlier this week. From the insightful CPD session featuring some of our very own, to wine tasting and delectable treats, there were many great ‘Tricks & Treats’ to take away from this spectacular event. The diversity in the room was a true testament not only to the NGCN’s fantastic work in advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion values within organizations and the wider legal community, but also to the progress the legal profession as a whole has made in elevating these values. Recognizing that there is still much more to be done, Fasken’s Empower Network – the Firm’s umbrella affinity network of racialized legal professionals – will continue to champion and promote EDI within Fasken and beyond. Thank you to everyone who joined us, whether at our Toronto office or virtually, on Monday evening! #Fasken #EDI #GeneralCounsel #InHouseCounsel
