What is Emerging Trends in Municipal Law?

Emerging Trends in Municipal Law is a one-day seminar available in person – or virtually.  This annual event features timely and critical topics that are curated exclusively for our elected and administrative municipal clients.

For 2025, we are continuing to offer this session on two different days – one in Calgary and a second date in Edmonton.  Additionally, Edmonton’s in-person session will be live-streamed for those who prefer to attend virtually. Whichever date or option you select, the presented topics will be the same.

The seminar offers excellent networking opportunities for municipal professionals, while delivering market-leading legal insights from our team of experienced lawyers at Brownlee LLP.

Why should I attend Emerging Trends in Municipal Law?

The expert panel at this seminar brings together a team of experienced lawyers from Brownlee LLP, known for their practices in municipal law, litigation, and more. Their in-depth knowledge and practical insights will provide you with valuable guidance and help you navigate the complex legal landscape of municipal governance. This can also offer cost-savings for municipalities, as a stronger understanding of municipal law can reduce the need for legal counsel in municipal administration.

As a municipal professional, connecting with peers and expanding your professional network is essential. The seminar provides an excellent environment for you to meet and interact with other like-minded professionals, fostering valuable relationships and collaborations. Emerging Trends in Municipal Law is also one of the most effective and affordable seminars of its kind.
