The Ontario Bar Association is the voice of the legal profession.
About us
The Ontario Bar Association is a branch of the Canadian Bar Association, an organization of lawyers formed to provide support by the profession to the profession so that it may render better service to its members and the public. This is accomplished by both education and representation to government on topics of current concern. The Ontario Bar Association provides lawyers with opportunities to become more efficient and effective, to further their professional education and to keep abreast of current developments within the profession, nationally and provincially. Membership in the Canadian Bar Association entitles lawyers to participate in these educational programs at a lower cost than non-members. In addition, members can take an active role in law reform and law amendment, both provincially and federally. Meetings of the national organization, the provincial organization and the individual Sections offer the opportunity to meet other members of the profession from all parts of the country with like interests on a basis afforded in no other manner. The Canadian Bar Association has been in existence since 1896 and was incorporated April 15, 1921 while the Ontario Branch has been in existence since 1907 and was incorporated on April 22, 1985.

In the just released Centre for Legal Innovation's Legalpreneurs Spotlight, we chatted with Colin Lachance, the Innovator in Residence at the Ontario Bar Association (OBA) and the Principal of law firm coaching and consulting business, PGYA Consulting. You'll find the video here: https://lnkd.in/gPhNkFwg and The Legalpreneurs Sandbox podcast here (and everywhere else you get your podcasts): https://lnkd.in/gMkmAScr Colin’s amazing background both qualifies and recommends him for his role at the OBA. It’s a unique role for legal member organisations. It was launched in 2018. Each innovator is appointed for 12 months and pursues a different focus area, always with a change agenda. Colin’s focus area could not be more topical…it’s legal AI! His action plan is ambitious, critical, timely, compelling and multi-pronged. His work will impact the 16,000 lawyers OBA represents and influence many, many more. This was an inspiring, fun, and amazing conversation with a special human - don't miss this spotlight - thank you so much, Colin! And, a special mention that this is CLI's 200th The Legalpreneurs Sandbox podcast - we could not be more delighted to be celebrating that milestone with Colin and with all our absolutely amazing guest hosts, guests and listeners - THANK YOU! #CLI2024 #legalgenai #legaltech #lawyers #lawfirms #inhousecounsel
