The Federation of Ontario Law Associations has confirmed its participation as a partner in two key Canadian Lawyer special reports – Top Boutiques: Litigation, and 5-Star Legal Workplaces.
FOLA is an organization that represents the 46 Law Associations across Ontario and, through them their members. Together with associate member The Toronto Lawyers Association, the federation represents approximately 12,000 lawyers, most of who are in private practice in firms across the province. These lawyers are on the front lines of the justice system and see its triumphs and shortcomings every day.
The inaugural 5-Star Legal Workplaces special report will recognize firms with more than ten employees in the legal profession that excel as a legal employer of choice and a desirable place to work.
