How Much Influence Do They Have? Part 1: The Present and Future of Legal Services
The first half of the presentation will be led by Dan Pinnington of LAWPRO on how the practice of law has changed, and is going to change, in Ontario.
With technology and artificial intelligence enabling greater access to legal information, people no longer immediately turn to lawyers for advice. In many practice areas, clients have successfully revolted against the billable hour. In all areas, an expectation of operational efficiency like automation has become mandatory.
What can you do to keep up?
Dan’s introduction will be followed by a panel discussion on what some of your daring colleagues are doing to remain relevant and competitive!

Toronto Lawyers Association
For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community. To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.
