You are a practicing lawyer using your degree every day in your work.  You wonder, though, how you can use your well-honed skills outside of the office to make an even bigger impact, which is bound to reflect positively on your career.

We have invited two well-rounded individuals with impressive biographies to talk over breakfast about what they did with their law degrees, besides build successful practices.  John Hollander (McBride Bond Christian LLP) has devoted much of his free time to mentorship and advocacy training for young lawyers through the Advocacy Club and the University of Ottawa.  He has also helped build a major start up tech company.  Chris Spiteri (Spiteri & Ursulak LLP) has been an active Board member, Tribunal Chair, lecturer, and has even renovated homes while practicing law.

These dynamic lawyers will share with you tales of their experiences along with suggestions about how you can use your law degrees outside of your formal practice - to serve on Boards, teach law, fundraise, volunteer, mentor, etc.  They will advise how to find opportunities and how to make the best of them.  It will also be relevant to those who are looking to alternative careers in law. Learn how to engage in meaningful extracurricular opportunities in order to give back to your community, diversify your skills and practice, and enrich your professional reputation.
