The Lawyer-Client Relationship in a Municipal Setting- November 20, 2024 | 12 noon to 1 pm (ET)

We know that Council is the ultimate decision-authority in a municipality, making it the “client” in a lawyer-client relationship. But what is the role of staff in providing instructions to lawyers? In this session, our panelists will explore the lawyer-client relationship between legal counsel and the municipality. Join us to hear important insights on:

  • Who the client is when obtaining instructions and providing advice

  • The role of the Mayor as a “client” in Ontario municipalities that have “Strong Mayor Powers” 

  • Collaboration strategies for in-house and external counsel in providing legal services
