 We asked Frank about his background, practice and the challenges that he faces.

“The legal industry can give you that practice if you work hard and specialize in an area. It’s more difficult today than it was back then because the number of lawyers in Ontario has increased dramatically. The approach has always been to work for clients and do your very best and accomplish what they expect from a lawyer.”

This national webinar series includes 14 jurisdictional sessions, where incredibly timely information and insights were shared during panel discussions, that are relevant to a lawyer’s daily practice.
