Life after Law: Navigating and Embracing Retirement

This event has been postponed to a later date. Registrants will be contacted via email. For more information, please contact cbainfo@cbans.ca

Enjoy a special screening of Retirement on Trial, a compelling documentary that follows a senior lawyer’s journey through the uncertainties of retirement. Met with resistance from colleagues, he embarks on an unexpected path—creating this eye-opening and surprisingly humorous film. Can a documentary about retirement in the legal profession make you laugh? Come see for yourself. 

Following the screening, a panel of legal professionals, some preparing for retirement, others who’ve already made the transition, will share their personal experiences, insights, and advice. Whether you're a senior lawyer planning your next steps or a younger lawyer thinking ahead, this discussion offers valuable perspective. 

Stay for the reception to connect, reflect, and continue the conversation in a relaxed setting. Don’t forget to bring your spouse or partner—retirement is a decision you make together.
