About the Program

Review the fundamentals of running a prosperous, thriving law practice, and discuss specific strategies to assist you with office management, client development, and human resources management.

Review an array of topics crucial to running a law practice, including day-to-day business operations, alternative fee structures, marketing, technology solutions, human resources issues, and much more.

We recently spoke with David Tupper, program chair, who shared why he is looking forward to this program.

I’m expecting to learn as much as anybody else in the room and that’s exciting to me. I think that the great virtue of this kind of program is drawing together, in a relatively uncommon way, lawyers from across the spectrum to share ideas. We’ve got a tremendous bar and we learn best from each other.”

David’s litigation practice involves all aspects of corporate/commercial litigation with an emphasis on construction law, securities law, insurance law, environmental law, and oil and gas law. He regularly appears before all levels of courts in Alberta as well as in the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal. In securities matters, he frequently appears before the Alberta Securities Commission. David also maintains a considerable advisory practice in connection with environmental issues, property and liability policies, and reinsurance losses.

David highlighted what attendees will gain from the program:

I think the best thing about this program, which frankly is common to a lot of the LESA programs, is that attendees will get on-the-ground advice from people who are dealing with these issues and have dealt with them for a number of years. You can read all you want in the legal press about these topics, but the real light bulbs turn on when you listen to others who have been there and are there right now.”

He also spoke about the diversity of the panel.

There will be lawyers from both Edmonton and Calgary present. We’re going to have someone from the executive committee of a large law firm involved, and we’re going to have someone from a small rural firm involved. We’ll also cover family, criminal, and corporate law.”
