Meet Jorie Les, our returning Associate!

AMLC is pleased to announce that Jorie Les has returned to AMLC as an associate.

Prior to joining AMLC, Jorie articled and practiced at both national and regional law firms. She worked with AMLC from 2018 to 2020, after which she took a position with the British Columbia Securities Commission. She brings a wealth of experience in a wide variety of civil litigation matters, including administrative law, regulatory investigations, and commercial disputes involving complex contractual and tort claims. Jorie has appeared at all levels of court in British Columbia, as well as the Supreme Court of Canada. 

We are very excited to have Jorie rejoin our team!

AMLC is pleased to sponsor the BGuiled Debate on February 8th at the Roundhouse Community Centre.

Four debate finalists, including former AMLC team member, Allison Morrell, will be arguing in teams of two for or against the following maxim, in meandering comedic speeches: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT JUSTICE IS BLIND, BUT SHE CAN PEEK THROUGH HER BLINDFOLD”.

Join us for a fun night full of laughter! Tickets are on sale now, and all proceeds will be donated to Access Pro Bono.

More information on the event can be found here: www.bguileddebate.com
