We had the privilege of hosting an extraordinary International Women’s Day event at our firm, organized by Tea Obradovic and Hailey Abramsky, Chairs of our Women@Foglers Committee.
Our guest speaker, Jordana Goldlist shared her remarkable journey from facing adversity in her youth to becoming a renowned criminal defence lawyer, TEDx speaker, and podcast host. Her powerful story of transformation moved everyone in the room and embodied this year’s International Women’s Day spirit.
The impact of the event extended beyond inspiration. Together, with Kits for a Cause, we assembled 96 welcome kits for Covenant House Toronto and Sistering with heartfelt messages of hope. These kits will directly support women and youth in need throughout our community.
Special thanks to Jordana for her candid, moving presentation, and to Tea and Hailey for orchestrating such a meaningful event. Your dedication to empowering others and giving back to the community exemplifies the change we wish to see in the world.
Alex C. Kolandjian will be presenting at The Eight-Minute Commercial Leasing Lawyer 2025, a professional development program hosted by the Law Society of Ontario.

Bell Let’s Talk Day is a powerful reminder of the importance of open conversations about mental health. Today, we were inspired by Carole Dagher’s courageous and heartfelt journey of navigating mental illness while balancing a thriving legal career and family life.
Carole’s decision to share her story exemplifies the strength in vulnerability. By opening up about her mental health challenges, she has become a source of hope and change, breaking down the stigma that often surrounds mental health in the legal profession.
Her message was clear: kindness and compassion are essential to creating meaningful progress in mental health advocacy. Let her story remind us all that being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness—it’s a profound display of strength.
Let’s continue to lift each other up, listen without judgment, and build a world where mental health is treated with the care and respect it deserves. Together, we can move the dial.
