Fogler, Rubinoff was proud to host Pro Bono Ontario for another successful Sponsor Day supporting the Free Legal Advice Hotline.
Our Associates spent the afternoon volunteering to provide essential services to individuals with legal needs who cannot afford a lawyer. By volunteering their time and answering calls on the legal advice hotline, our firm helped ensure that Ontarians can access the legal help they need.
We extend our gratitude to Myriah Graves, Ruth Durgy, and our firm’s leadership team for their continued support of Pro Bono Ontario and for making these sponsor days possible. This collaboration reflects our ongoing dedication to giving back to the communities we serve.
Respect for Indigenous rights and self-determination is the key to economic prosperity for all Canadians, not a threat to private property rights. Join Adam Wheeler in discussion with Adam Jacobs, PhD, on Colliers Talks for a discussion on Aboriginal title, economic reconciliation, and why meaningful Indigenous partnership can help get major projects built the right way. Tune in.
Congratulations to Hailey Abramsky and Alexander Evangelista, who will serve on the Ontario Bar Association’s Section Executives for the 2026/2027 term! We wish them both a great year with their respective Law Sections and Executive teams.
Marie Lussier contributed to the International Trademark Association (INTA)‘s IP Law Firms of the Future Think Tank Report, a global study on the forces reshaping the intellectual property landscape. The report explores key trends, including AI, shifting client expectations, the rise of ALSPs, and evolving talent models that are redefining how IP firms operate and compete today and in the future.
In Chapter 7, Marie collaborated with Frank Liu, Shanghai Pacific Legal, and Dishti Titus, G&W Legal, to provide strategic recommendations and a practical action plan for firms preparing to navigate these changes and position themselves for long-term success.
