Presented by the CBA Alberta CBA In-House Lawyers and Business Law (South) Sections

Join the In-House Lawyers and the Business Law Sections on Monday, March 9, 2026, at the CBA offices or online, for the highly anticipated Contract Law Update – Developments of Note (2025 Edition) presented by Lisa Peters, K.C., and Catherine Whitehead of Lawson Lundell.

This year’s topics are:

• severance of uncertain contractual terms;
• statutory signature requirements in the electronic age;
• clauses requiring a calculation or determination in accordance with GAAP;
• distinctions between guarantees and indemnities; and
• an update on good faith duties in contract law.

This year’s session is particularly notable as it will be Lisa’s final paper and presentation before retirement. Lisa will be joined by co-author Catherine Whitehead, a partner at Lawson Lundell, who will continue this valued tradition.

To cover the breadth of the update, the session will run approximately 90 minutes and will begin promptly at noon.
