SUMMARY:Webinar - Signals of Trouble: Spotting Potential Decision Traps That Escalate Cyber Liability (CPD 451)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 1.0 CPD hour\, all of which qualify for Ethics \nLawyers are often contacted after a cybersecurity incident is believed to be finished. Systems may be back online\, and the organization may believe the issue is contained. In many cases\, however\, communications have not yet gone out or have been sent before the organization has fully considered its legal\, regulatory\, insurance\, or contractual obligations. This stage is where gaps can frequently surface and where legal exposure may increase. \nThis session focuses on what lawyers commonly encounter once the urgency of the initial incident has quieted. Timelines may be incomplete\, documentation may be missing\, and early decisions\, particularly around communications\, may not be clearly recorded or may have been made without full advice. Clients may be unaware that regulatory obligations\, insurance conditions\, or contractual duties remain outstanding\, or that earlier actions may narrow their options going forward. \nIn some cases\, the root cause has not been addressed\, and the organization may still be vulnerable. Participants will learn how to recognize these signals of trouble early\, how to ask practical and targeted questions\, and how to guide clients toward steps that may help reduce further risk. The session emphasizes legal awareness rather than technical expertise and supports lawyers in identifying the issues that tend to matter most at this stage of an incident. \nParticipants will leave with: \n\nA clear framework for spotting early indicators of unresolved or escalating cyber risk\nPractical suggestions for distinguishing technical remediation from legal risk signals\nActionable next step considerations for guiding clients forward\n\nPresenters:\nDavid Krebs\, Miller Thomson LLP\nBrennen Schmidt\, ALEUS Consulting Group \n__________\nFor virtual activities\, registration closes one hour before the program start time. Materials’ links are typically available two business days in advance of the program date (subject to availability and where applicable). Registrations received within two business days of the date of the program may result in not receiving materials’ links until the program date. \nProgram formats and dates are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar - From Law School Debt to Financial Confidence (CPD 453.1)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 1.0 CPD Hour. \nMany lawyers begin their careers carrying significant student debt and\, as their income grows\, find themselves uncertain about how to manage\, protect\, and plan with that money—often while navigating very different employment and practice structures. This financial wellness session is designed to support lawyers at any stage of their career who want greater clarity and confidence in their financial decisions\, regardless of how their work is structured. \nThis practical session will explore common financial pressures in the profession\, including debt repayment\, lifestyle inflation\, competing priorities\, and long-term planning\, while acknowledging that financial realities can look different for employed lawyers\, those in private practice\, partnerships\, or incorporated arrangements. Rather than focusing on individualized financial advice\, the session takes a high-level\, reflective approach to financial decision-making. Participant questions submitted in advance will help shape the content\, allowing the session to address shared themes and real concerns in a large-group virtual setting. \nParticipants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach financial decisions with intention\, align money choices with personal values and goals\, and reduce financial stress—so finances become a source of stability rather than added pressure\, both personally and professionally. \nPresenter: Mark Binder\, Blue Cross Manitoba \nClick to register for From Law School Debt to Financial Confidence \n___________ \nIn partnership with the Law Society of Saskatchewan\, CLIA will be hosting webinars related to well-being in the legal profession throughout the month of May.
