The second firm we would like to highlight this Black History Month is McCarthy Tétrault LLP. The firm has demonstrated strong support for our initiatives during Black History Month by assisting us in attending the BLSA Canada National Conference. Thanks to their generous support, we were able to have 30 of our members participate in the conference

With Black History Month coming to an end, we would like to highlight a few firms that have supported us throughout this month. First and foremost, we want to express our gratitude to Blakes, Cassels & Graydon LLP for their generous support in making our conference trip possible. The firm’s unwavering dedication to backing Black organizations like ours has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth and development of many of our Black law students. Thanks to their support, we were able to partake in enriching experiences, hear from inspiring speakers, and engage in valuable events at this years BLSA Canada conference.
