CALL 24/7We are excited to share that three of our lawyers attended the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association’s (OTLA) 2025 Long-Range Planning Session last week – June 19-20 at Blue Mountain in Collingwood.
Joanna Sweet, Jaclyn Habas, and Irina Rosca, all active members of the OTLA, participated in this annual retreat that offers members a unique opportunity to engage in collaborative discussions regarding the organisation’s long-term goals, strategic reflection, and ongoing advocacy initiatives for the legal industry in a serene environment.
Our participating lawyers are not just active members of the OTLA, each one contributes meaningfully to the organisation.
Managing partner Joanna Sweet, who currently serves as Vice President of the OTLA, was recently elected to the role of President of the OTLA for the 2027-2028 term.
During her tenure as Vice President, Joanna has participated in many OTLA events, including most recently in May, where she served as moderator for Parts 3, 4, and 5 of the Civil Rules Review Focus Group. This important series gave members the opportunity to share their legal insights directly with the board and committees responsible for shaping OTLA’s official response to the industry’s proposed procedural changes.
Senior Associate lawyer, Jaclyn Habas, was elected to the OTLA board of directors and is currently serving her three-year-term, which officially began May 10, 2024.
Jaclyn, who was the 2024 recipient of OTLA’s Outstanding New Lawyer Award, also previously served as Vice Chair of the OTLA’s New Lawyers Division, 2023-2024. Most recently, she presented, “Top Tort Cases of 2024,″ at the fall Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA) conference.
Associate lawyer, Irina Rosca, also an active OTLA board member, currently serves as Women Trial Lawyers Caucus of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, 2025–2026.
This past May, Irina was a presenter in the second segment of the OTLA’s four-part Building Block Series.
We are honoured to work with lawyers who go the extra mile to do more. Each one of these lawyers invests a significant amount of time, not just to their own career development, but they are also deeply committed to contributing to ongoing improvements in the legal industry.
