OBA sponsors, works with or supports numerous affiliated groups as part of its service to the profession.
CCCA
The Canadian Corporate Counsel Association was established in 1988 by the National Council of the Canadian Bar Association to replace the national corporate law section of the CBA. Membership in the CBA is a prerequisite for membership in the CCCA.
Today, with almost 5,000 regular members and 11 regional chapters (including ones in Toronto and Ottawa), the CCCA is the national professional forum and communal voice for in-house counsel in Canada. Through its two annual conferences - the Spring Conference in April and the Annual Meeting in August - and its chapter CLE programs, the CCCA leads the way in providing continuing education and management programs to corporate counsel.
For more information, please contact the CCCA at 416-869-0522 or ccca@ccca-cba.org. Or visit the new CCCA website here.
