Inclusion Now Event: Developments in policy and litigation affecting 2SLGBTQI+ communities

McCarthy Tétrault invites you to join us for our Annual Pride Inclusion Now event. 

Get up to speed on the latest developments in policy and litigation affecting 2SLGBTQI+ communities across Canada from the legal team leading precedent setting pro-bono advocacy across the country. Hear from the legal team at the forefront of precedent-setting 2SLGBTQI+ rights cases across the country: Bryn Gray and Ljiljana Stanic. Joining them will be Johanna Macdonald, Director of Public Interest and Legal Initiatives at The 519 and Eric Freeman, Manager of Legal at Egale Canada. 

Get the latest updates on:

• Prohibitions on gender affirming healthcare for transgender youth
• Developments in the law of defamation and the interpretation of “anti-SLAPP” legislation in cases involving 2SLGBTQI+ plaintiffs and defendants
