Congrats @amreinholdt! Excellent news for @NelliganLaw, and well deserved.

We are so thrilled to announce our new partner, Andrew Montague-Reinholdt!

@amreinholdt first joined us in 2013 as a summer student. Since then, he has built an incredible Labour and Employment practice and quickly become a leader on our team.

Congratulations, Andrew!

As we approach a long weekend, maybe you're dreaming of four-day work weeks forever? Here's a short blog on some legal considerations before making that shift.

[nelliganlaw @NelliganLaw]

Benefits such as increased productivity and better work-life balance have many employers considering the shift to a four-day work week. @mayajfernandez breaks down the legal implications of a shortened work week for both employees and employers:

A great thread by my colleague @amreinholdt about the last minute cancellation of the March bar exam. Many students study while balancing articling (in a pandemic), care commitments etc. Cancelling the exam 3 days before is devastating. Time for a serious re-think about the exam.

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@malinivjkumar @Sarah_Molyneaux @adriennefanjoy @melaniesutton95 Thanks @malinivjkumar. @Sarah_Molyneaux, I’d be happy to be added to a referral list. In a small world moment, I believe we have a mutual friend in Morgan (from YK)!

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

Are you confused about benefits/resources available to workers during COVID? Check out this helpful thread from my brilliant colleague @malinivjkumar.

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

If there are any @uocommonlaw students in need of a space to write the bar, here is a great option👇. Many blank walls, quiet, safe, and there is reliable wifi!

[nelliganlaw @NelliganLaw]

We understand that many students don’t have the space at home that meets the requirements implemented by the Law Society for bar exams this summer. Turns out, we have an excess of blank walls in our office!

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@LawinSalah If you are near a university, check to see if their printing centre will bind materials. I was able to do a drop off and have my materials bound for a reasonable price!

@FloydDetroit I’ve heard from friends that Floyd will send the hardware for a bed to Canada. Is this true? I can’t seem to order it online. Thanks!

@melindakjacobs I thought for sure it would be a matching t-shirt under blazer look. Alternatively the timeless t-shirt over long sleeve.

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@Kt_Cornish I practiced with both. Gravitated more towards the DTOC. However, during the exam, I was happy to have both available!

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@Kt_Cornish @LawSocietyLSO Wanted to follow up on this with the answer that I've received from a "live chat" with MonitorEDU. Appears to me that we can select our preferred window, but that window is not a guarantee.

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@girby @HardieRW Is that your read from the LSO messages, or from how the online process is rolling out for those writing in June?

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@vickitabhatt I'm interested! Unable to DM.

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

Amazing news! @daniellelussier, can alum audit this course?

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

@Kt_Cornish Indeed. Strange times. Hoping for more clarity on next steps in the coming days.

[Maya Fernandez @mayajfernandez]

Excellent to see @NelliganLaw operating a free Employment Law Helpline to support people in these challenging times.

[nelliganlaw @NelliganLaw]

The Nelligan Employment Law Helpline opens today, March 25th. For more information about how it works, what you can expect and how to access it, please visit our website:
