The Hottest Legal Topics Right Now
We are delighted to invite our membership to an exclusive event, hosted in collaboration with Women General Counsel Canada and McCarthy Tétrault.
As AI and digital technologies rapidly reshape the business landscape, organizations are facing heightened expectations around governance, risk, and accountability. With federal AI legislation stalled in 2025, a regulatory gap has emerged, placing increased responsibility on organizations and their boards to oversee the ethical use of AI, manage data risks, and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
At the same time, cybersecurity incidents and privacy breaches have evolved beyond technical challenges to become significant legal, financial, and reputational risks. With growing class action exposure, these events now demand close attention at the board level. This discussion will explore how organizations can navigate this complex environment, strengthen oversight, and proactively mitigate risk in an increasingly digital world.
March 26, 2026 | WGCC Masterclass | Executor Responsibilities
Are you prepared for what it really means to act as an Executor?
Many lawyers are asked—often by close friends or family—to take on the role of Executor. While the title may sound straightforward, the responsibilities, risks, and time commitments involved are frequently underestimated.
WGCC is pleased to invite members to a 60‑minute virtual Masterclass focused on the practical realities of Executor responsibilities, delivered by an experienced professional who works in this space every day.
Cheryl Maloney is a Certified Executor Advisor with extensive, hands‑on experience helping families and their Executors plan for the successful administration of their estates. Her work focuses on real‑world challenges, risks, and personal liability issues Executors face—particularly those that are often overlooked at the outset.
