2025 SALA Conference: Advancing Standards in Sexual Abuse Litigation
Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and virtually for our inaugural 2025 conference focused on “Raising the Bar,” and ensuring that civil sexual abuse litigators in Canada have the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities.
On September 19, we welcomed some 50 virtual participants from across the country and 80 in-person attendees to Vantage Venues in Toronto for an inspiring day of learning and collaboration. With a truly remarkable keynote speaker, thoughtful and engaging sessions, and great opportunities to network and connect, we can confidently say that our first event was a success.
Thank you to all of our speakers and panellists and to our Gold sponsors: PsycIME, McKellar Structured Settlements, and MindSense Centre of Psychiatry. Our Silver Sponsor: Synoptic Medical Assessments. And our Bronze Sponsor: TheJudge Canada.
We are also grateful to our founding SALA members and dedicated planning committee for making this event such a success. Stay tuned for information on our 2026 event!
