The fourth annual Torys-Rotman Business Leadership Program has wrapped up another successful course. Available exclusively to Torys lawyers, the program is the product of an extensive and collaborative effort of Rotman faculty and Torys leadership, first run in 2015.
The program’s four modules—strategy and design thinking, negotiation and influence, leadership and communication—were delivered by some of the country’s preeminent instructors at the Rotman School of Management.
Hear from some of the 2022 cohort on what they thought of this year’s program.

“The Torys-Rotman Business Leadership Program provided a unique opportunity for Senior Associates across Torys’ offices to: (i) strengthen our relationships with one another; (ii) enhance our leadership, negotiation and presentation skills; and (iii) better understand the firm’s strategy and operations. I am grateful to have shared this experience with my colleagues and I look forward to putting my lessons learned into practice.”

“The investment that Torys makes in its lawyers through the Rotman program is one-of-a-kind. My personal favourite was the seminar on effective communication, which I plan to incorporate into my witness prep for all hearings going forward, but the focus on business strategy prepares you not only to be a better lawyer, but to build a better and more competitive firm.”

“The Rotman-Torys Business Leadership Program was such an enriching experience for me, both professionally and personally. It was interesting to consider the firm’s strategy and vision, and discuss ideas and solutions, but it was also great to be able to spend time with our colleagues from other offices and other practice groups at the firm.”

“The Torys-Rotman Program showed me more than ever that leadership is a skill that can and must be honed, fostered and developed. Not only did the program provide us with the opportunity to build our leadership skills under the guidance of Canada’s most thoughtful minds in a specialized and tailored program, but it allowed us to grow a meaningful personal network that will stay with us throughout our careers and evidenced to me yet again the tremendous belief that the firm has in investing in its people.”
