SUMMARY:Virtual Seminar - The Flourishing Law Firm: Strategic planning\, culture\, and succession for small and mid-sized firms (CPD 447)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 3.0 CPD Hours. \nRunning a small or mid-sized law firm is challenging and raises big\, often competing questions. How to lead the firm while taking good care of the clients? How do we decide where the firm is heading\, and actually get there? Why do good plans so often stall in implementation? How do we find the right people\, and keep them engaged and performing as the firm grows? And how do we proactively address topics like succession\, leadership transition\, and the future of the firm before a crisis forces the issue? \nThis practical\, three-part session brings strategy\, culture\, and succession planning together in a way that reflects the real operating conditions of smaller firms. Rather than treating these as separate topics\, the program focuses on how they work together — and why alignment between them is essential for execution\, continuity\, and sustainability. \nIn this presentation\, you will learn: \n\nHow to create and engage your team in a clear\, usable strategic plan that fits the realities of small and mid-sized firms\nWhy culture determines whether strategy ever gains traction — and how to cultivate culture intentionally\nHow to translate culture into practical conditions that support motivation\, accountability\, follow-through and retention\nHow strategy and culture shape key succession decisions\, including whether you’re running a practice or building a firm meant to endure\nHow to approach leadership and lawyer transitions so knowledge\, relationships\, and momentum aren’t lost\n\nJoin Carina Bittel and Allison Wolf for a candid\, solutions-focused conversation grounded in real firm experience\, concrete examples\, and practical frameworks you can apply immediately in your own firm. \nAbout the Presenters\nAllison Wolf is a leadership coach and strategic advisor working with lawyers and law firms across Canada and the United States\, with a particular focus on small and mid-sized firms. She brings over two decades of experience supporting lawyers in developing thriving legal practices and law firms\, including extensive work with firm founders\, partners\, and future leaders. \nAllison’s coaching practice is grounded in neuroscience\, helping lawyers and law firms take a brain-aligned approach to leadership\, productivity\, growth and sustainable success. Allison is the creator of RECLAIM\, a practical cultural operating system for law firms grounded in neuroscience and psychology\, designed to help firms translate strategy into action through engaged\, accountable teams. \nShe is the founder of The Flourishing Law Centre\, a membership-based coaching program supporting law firm leaders in building sustainable\, human-centred firms\, and she regularly develops practical resources and tools for the profession\, including a free Resource Kit for law firm leaders focused on strategy\, culture\, and succession.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Legal AI Prompting and Use Cases with Lexis Nexis (CPD 448)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 1.0 CPD hour\, all of which qualifies for Ethics. \nAs legal professionals integrate generative AI tools\, such as large language models\, into their work\, they must master a new language.

In this session\, we’ll illustrate these concepts in Lexis+® AI\, powered by Protégé. Through demonstration and discussion\, you’ll see how lawyers and law students are being taught to prompt effectively and develop workflows that obtain the greatest benefit from legal AI systems. \nPresenter:\nConnie Braun\, Lexis Nexis \n__________ \nFor virtual activities\, registration closes one hour before the program start time.
