Serving the Baby Boomer Generation: Your Aging Client Base

Canada’s population is aging, and as a result, so is the pool of individuals in need of legal services. Are you equipped to deal with an aging client base? Regardless your area of practice, it is critical that you have a fundamental understanding of the key practice issues that may arise as you serve more older clients.

Our expert panel will ensure you have the tools and insights you need to confidently tackle the central issues, including:

• Capacity to instruct counsel and how it differs from other capacity standards
• Navigating confidentiality in the presence of support people
• Determining who your client is, and what you need to know about substitute decision makers
• Strategies for accommodating older clients who may be experiencing sight, hearing or mental impairment

Don’t miss this valuable program to prepare you to better serve your older clients now and in the years to come.
