If you are a junior practitioner or legal support staff, LESA’s Collections for Legal Support Staff seminar (November 20 or November 27) will offer you plenty of practical information about all the steps you need to consider when running a collections file.
As one of the seminar chairs, Sandeep Dhir, explained, the seminar will discuss the “nuts and bolts from opening a file all the way through to judgment and enforcement.”
When LESA asked Dhir why attendees will benefit from the seminar, he emphasized that it will include “practical examples from practice” that address the “decisions you make on a regular basis.” Experienced practitioners and a bailiff will share their insights about the common issues that you are asked to make an assessment on or advise clients about, such as advising a client about a bailee’s undertaking and the associated costs, benefits, and risks.
In Dhir’s words, this seminar will give you the tools you need to feel comfortable that “you’ve asked the right questions to help your clients make necessary decisions.” After all, there are a lot of questions associated with collections files, and, while you may not always know the answer immediately, knowing what questions to ask makes the process of determining a solution much easier.
This seminar benefits from the invaluable expertise of its chairs and faculty, including Dhir who co-authored a 2012 textbook, Collections Law in Alberta: A Practical Guide. Like this seminar, the textbook offers a “very accessible step by step approach to dealing with a collections file” (Dhir).
You won’t want to miss this seminar and all of the practical advice you’ll gain from attending. Register online now to attend in Calgary (November 20) or Edmonton (November 27).
