We had another successful Legally Adulting seminar last Thursday, May 23, 2019 at the Nirvana Wellness Centre in Brampton.

Legally Adulting is a Wise Law seminar series, featuring an interactive dialogue between the community and lawyers Simran Bakshi and Paul Adam about the legal issues that come our way at life's most important milestones - new jobs, marriage, children, first homes, estate planning and other issues affecting home, work and life in general.

Thank you to all who attended.  Your questions and contributions were excellent!  We hope everyone found the session helpful and informative.

Thanks to Dr. Chandini Bakshi for hosting our event.

We will look forward to our next event, coming soon to a location near you.
