CANADIAN GENERAL COUNSEL AWARDS NOMINATIONS OPEN

Nominations are open for the 2018 Canadian General Counsel Awards. The CGCAs, founded by National Post and ZSA Legal Recruitment, are now in their 14th year. Those interested have until March 29 to nominate an in-house counsel in one of eight categories: Lifetime Achievement, Canadian General Counsel of the Year, Business Achievement, Litigation Management, Deal Making, Mid-Market Excellence, Tomorrow’s Leader, and Environmental, Social and Governance. The “ESG” Award is an evolution of what used to be the Social Responsibility award, which previously was presented to the legal team of a company or organization. Now, the ESG has been redesigned with individuals in mind. The award will be presented to the general counsel who exhibited outstanding leadership in corporate responsibility and ESG stewardship. The awards will be presented June 11 at Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York. Visit cgca.ca for more information.
