Join APTLA at our NOV-COV: PLAINTIFF PRACTICE DURING AND AFTER THE PANDEMIC (AND MORE) webinar series as we look at how we proceed despite a pandemic. We are delving into how trial practice has changed and how to best respond to the various legal challenges. Take a deep dive into the IME (with and w...ithout Covid). See what treatments and services are possible remotely. Understand Covid’s impact on the mental health of your already injured clients. We will look at Financial Causation for the self-employed and wage earners, and where Business Interruption Insurance fits in to your clients’ claims. We will also review Covid-related caselaw that every plaintiff counsel should know and hold a four province Judicial discussion of the Court’s experience during the height of the 1st Wave, and the changes to come from the Court systems as a result of Covid.

Words from Winning Works, from whence came out recent Keynote Speaker - Gregory S. Cusimano

On Wednesday, September 9th, APTLA is going to present Leaving No One Behind, a webinar designed to help Members understand and get what they need to efficiently and effectively work remotely. This program is for those who may feel overwhelmed by the pressures created by the pandemic and is designed to get you where you need to be in case the 2nd wave creates another long period of working from home. If you've not already made the pivot, you'll learn what you need to effectively work from a home office and how to do it. More details coming soon!
