This week, Ashlee went to the Canadian Legal Summit. Key topics included navigating AI and exploring how corporations are considering external General Counsel — two subjects that Froese Law have already been exploring deeply. Thank you to the Canadian Legal Summit for having Ashlee and offering much to mull over!

Last week, I attended the Association of Intellectual Property Firms (AIPF) AGM in Toronto. Continuing with my desire to ensure that Froese Law is hyper connected globally, this was a great conference where I met with lawyers from around the world. Interestingly, this conference focused on issues facing law firm owners. Not only am I a lawyer, I am also an entrepreneur and business owner. Talking with other law firm owners is always helpful in staying abreast of not only developing legal issues, but also developing business issues. This is why I relate to my entrepreneur clients. I can relate to some of the issues that my clients are experiencing.

As I return from another successful trip to the MARQUES conference, I think about the impact 'networking with thousands of lawyers' can have. Because it isn't just about 1000 lawyers. You come out of these super-networking events with professional colleagues and new friends from around the world. In this photo, there is representation from France, Saint Lucia, the UK, Czech Republic, Turkey, Lebanon and Canada. The MARQUES gala evening provided the perfect locale to connect and ensure we all continue to help our clients manage global legal portfolios. Here’s to us: raising a glass to celebrate our profession and this dynamic group of women.

This week Ashlee is attending the Marques AGM in Lisbon, Portugal. At this conference, she will be connecting with 900 other trademark professionals around the world. They will be discussing key legal developments such as personality rights and deep fakes in AI. But also Ashlee will be working on diligently building Froese Law’s network of international lawyers. This couldn’t come at a better time to mirror Canada’s desire to build new international connections. Through attending key global networking events, Froese Law is well equipped to help our Canadian clients manage global legal issues as they expand internationally. Conversely, Froese Law is positioned as a hub to help international businesses to enter the Canadian marketplace.

When I launched the fashion law movement in Canada many years ago, the Bay Street world scoffed at the idea. In the early 2000’s as a new lawyer, law firm partners would joke that I was the “fashion police” or “Legally Blonde”. But they didn’t see what I saw: a powerful industry that deserves protection. So I built a law firm that bridges the gap between the creative world and the Bay Street world. For the vast majority of my time, as a fashion lawyer I am glued to my phone and computer brokering deals and negotiating contracts. But every so often, I come out of my office to celebrate the industry. Congratulations to FASHION Magazine and Deidre Marinelli for the event celebrating the fashion industry during TIFF. Thank you to sᴛᴇᴠᴇ ʙ | ʏʏᴢᴇᴠᴇɴᴛs for capturing me!

In the midst of the Toronto International Film Fest's 51st year, Toronto Life Magazine hosted their best dressed party! As an avid reader for 20 years (I have to get my monthly fix of it), I was thrilled to be able to attend and rub elbows with filmmakers, actors, and those named best dressed! Thank you Toronto Life Magazine and NKPR for having me.

In June 2026, The Canadian Government announced a $173.7 million over five years to continue the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy and help women entrepreneurs access financing, training and networks to start and grow their businesses.
This investment includes funding for the not-for-profit organizations that administer the Women Entrepreneurship Loan Fund, which will enable them to continue offering microloans of up to $50,000 to women entrepreneurs across the country.
