Join us over the lunch hour on Thursday November 12^th, for an informal conversation with Alanna Taylor, K.C., a highly experienced practitioner and Managing Partner at Cox and Palmer, here in Charlottetown. Alanna began her practice in the areas of family, criminal, property, and wills and estates. After nearly three decades in practice, her area of focus is in family law, representing children through child protection work, parenting coordination, and adult protection.

As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering mentorship within the legal profession, we are pleased to introduce a new mentorship-focused CLE series this year. The “Ask Me Anything” series will take a more informal, round-table approach, providing young lawyers with an opportunity to connect directly with experienced members of the profession in a relaxed and conversational setting. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about a lawyer’s area of practice, career path, experiences and lessons learned along the way, with plenty of time for open discussion and Q&A. Come curious, bring your questions, and stay for the conversation! 

Bring your lunch along, and we will provide refreshments. 

This event is open to all members but is highly recommended to Articling Clerks and Young Lawyers to help support mentorship within our Bar here on Prince Edward Island.

This session free to attend. However, space is limited, so we do ask that you register in advance.
