We are excited to announce the launch of Law Works Professional Development to expand our professional development programs for lawyers.

Since 2021, we have been delivering CPD-eligible and accredited webinars for lawyers across Canada on franchise law and commercial/real estate disputes.  With the new Law Works PD platform, we will be continuing to offer webinars, in addition to roundtables and more extensive programs.

Our programs will continue their focus on franchise law and commercial disputes for lawyers across Canada.  Lawyers who complete the courses will receive a certificate of completion and accumulate CPD-accredited hours.

Our current courses offer franchise arbitration and franchise rescission programs:
