The Young Members Group of the CIArb London Branch is pleased to host

this webinar with The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, where we

will:

• Discuss Ms McLachlin's distinguished career as a lawyer and

professor, as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada,

and now as an independent arbitrator

• Draw on Ms McLachlin's extensive experience to provide

younger practitioners with guidance on developing the right

skills to pursue a career in commercial law and arbitration

The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin practised as a lawyer and

professor before accepting her first judicial appointment at the County Court

of Vancouver in 1981. She was appointed to the British Columbia Court of

Appeal in 1985, and then to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1989. She was

appointed as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada in 2000 and

retired in 2017. During this time, Ms McLachlin participated in 2,094

Supreme Court judgments – of which she wrote 442 – which included a wide

range of subjects in corporate, construction, financial services, taxation,

contract, and other areas of business law.

Since retiring from the Supreme Court of Canada in 2017, Ms McLachlin

practises at Arbitration Place as an arbitrator and mediator in Canada and

internationally. Ms McLachlin also sits as a Justice of Singapore's
