The OBA’s Public Sector Lawyers Section is pleased to announce Richard Steinecke as the recipient of its 2019 Tom Marshall Award of Excellence.

The OBA will host a series of OBA Solution Circles over the coming months. OBA Solution Circles will address certain issues that we know are barriers to advancing gender equality (e.g., work interruptions and their impact on a legal career).

The OBA offices will be closed for the holidays between 1:00 p.m. on Friday, December 21, 2018 and 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 3, 2019.

Every year the Public Sector Section of the OBA celebrates one of its members, acknowledged by peers as a leading practitioner and contributor to Public Sector Law in Ontario through the OBA Tom Marshall Award of Excellence for Public Sector Lawyers. This is your opportunity to recognize the colleagues, peers or mentors who have had the most meaningful impact on the practice in Ontario and in the advancing the profession as a whole.
