Podcast on conflicts of interest
Law21 was quiet for a week while I worked the Canadian Bar Association’s Canadian Legal Conference in Quebec City. Among the highlights for me was moderating a podcast on the CBA’s just-released Final Report of its Task Force on Conflicts of Interest. You can access the podcast by clicking the third link in the right-hand column on the CBA’s Conflicts Home Page.
The podcast, which runs less than 25 minutes, featured three members of the task force: Chair Scott Jolliffe, managing partner of Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, and members Gord Currie, EVP and General Counsel of George Weston Ltd., and Simon Chester, a partner with Heenan Blaikie LLP and fellow Slawyer. We talked about the report’s principal recommendations, the valuable Toolkit that accompanied it, and why conflicts matters so much to both lawyers and clients. Hope you find the program interesting and the report useful, no matter where you practise.
