Waiting for a Summary Judgment Motion date for your wrongful dismissal matter? Why not retain me to arbitrate it instead? $2,500+HST fixed fee, provided only matters in dispute are: whether employment contract is dispositive, quantum of reasonable notice, and mitigation.

Dress to your client. There are no hard and fast rules.
Lawyers should never wear t-shirts on video calls. We sell a premium offering in the service industry. Dress in a way that signals you’re serious about high end hospitality.

Talk less. Smile more. Never let them know what you’re against or what you’re for.

Look, if you've never started an academic paper, now reproduced on @CanLII by referencing a rap battle between Biggie and ODB, then have you really written about statutory interpretation? What I'm talking about: https://t.co/VPtmzV3MoR

Similarly, law school should teach & drill how to write effective emails. ✅ Open with the conclusion & recommendation. ✅ Use bullet points. ✅ Be concise. ✅ Write so your recipient can copy/paste or forward to their stakeholder. So much of the job is writing good emails.
Law school should focus on writing letters. Sometimes it seems that's all I do.
