CBA Legal Conference – Shopify speakers at CCCA lunch

  • May 20, 2016

Join us at the CBA Legal Conference to hone the three most vital dimensions of your career: the profession, the practice and the person. We’ve gathered some of the best and the brightest in the industry and we’re bringing them to Ottawa this August 12-14.

Shopify leaders Harley Finkelstein and Joe Frasca will be sharing the stage at this year’s CCCA lunch, discussing how law shapes the future of business.

Finkelstein is an entrepreneur, lawyer and the Chief Operating Officer at Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform. He founded his first company at just 17 and has been building businesses ever since. In 2005, to put himself through law school, Finkelstein sold t-shirts on Shopify. That’s what led him to eventually join the company, which now powers over 275,000 businesses in more than 150 countries.

Frasca joined the company in 2014 and serves as Shopify’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

The CLC also offers three PD streams (Building a Better Profession, Building a Better Practice and Building a Better Person), specifically designed to help you become a better lawyer. Don’t miss dynamic PD sessions like:
