"This was a unique opportunity to come together with some of the best and brightest in our field in a relaxed environment. The discussions were thought-provoking, relevant, and challenged some of my previously held views. I feel privileged to have been a part of it."
Nimali Gamage Partner Goddard Gamage LLP Toronto, ON"I love the conversation and practical advice. I love being able to ask practical questions and get practical answers. It is easy to find answers to pure legal questions but not practical questions."
