The OBA’s Law Practice Management Section will host an evening of networking and learning Thursday, June 22, 2006, entitled “Challenges for Law Firm Leaders.”  The evening will feature keynote speaker Andrew John Kent, the new CEO of Toronto business law firm, McMillan Binch Mendelsohn LLP.   Mr. Kent assumed the role of CEO less than a year after the firm’s merger of the over one hundred year old McMillan Binch in Toronto and Montréal mainstay Mendelsohns.  In addition to discussing why lawyers decide to take on the challenges of being a Managing Partner, Mr. Kent will also explore the definition of success for firm leaders and how they can make a difference.  Lori Brazier, partner with Catalyst Consulting and LPM Section Chair, round out the program with her observations. 

The event will be held at the Albany Club at 91 King Street in Toronto.  The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with registration, hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar, with the program beginning at 6:00 p.m.  The cost is $32.10 for OBA members, $53.50 for non-members, and $21.40 for OBA Law School/Articling Student Members. Click here to register.
