With the changes in auto insurance taking place on July 1, don’t assume your current policy will provide the same protection upon renewal. Take time to review your coverage early, understand what your benefits include, and ask the right questions. The cost of being underinsured can be far greater than the short-term savings.

Siskinds LLP offers student programs in both our London and Toronto offices, providing the opportunity for law students to be involved in interesting and unique cases to further their practical experience.

We are pleased to introduce 2026 Summer Law Student Benjamin Weinstein, who shares why he chose to work in the legal industry and how he enjoys spending his downtime.

“I was inspired to pursue an education in law while volunteering with the John Howard Society in Waterloo-Wellington. I have been an active volunteer with the John Howard Society’s Youth Justice Committee for over four years, where I assist young offenders with completing the diversion program. Working with young people in need has inspired me to pursue a career where I can continue to help others.

When I’m not working at the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I am an avid canoeist and have completed dozens of canoe trips. My favourite places to camp include Algonquin, Killarney, and Lake Superior Provincial Parks. I’m also interested in learning different languages. I’ve spent two years at the Toronto Chinese Academy learning Mandarin and have also spent a little bit of time learning Greek and Latin during my undergrad at Laurier.”

The sentencing of former Woodstock mayor Trevor Birtch following his guilty plea brings renewed focus to how power imbalances and coercion are addressed in sexual violence cases, and how accountability is determined in the courtroom.

In their latest blog post, Anna Stoll and Lauren Cullen, personal injury and civil sexual abuse partners at Siskinds LLP, take a closer look at the circumstances of the case and the court’s reasoning at sentencing, while considering how this decision may shape the way similar cases are approached going forward.

A recent decision involving former Woodstock mayor Trevor Birtch is a stark example of how power, addiction, and coercion can intersect.
