Counsel Jeff Cowan and Partner Abbey Sinclair will participate in panels during the Canadian Property Tax Association's 59th Annual National Workshop on Monday, October 6 - Tuesday, October 7, 2025 in Montréal.

The theme of this year's workshop is "In the Heart of a City", and will explore emerging challenges and fresh opportunities: from shifts in the Canadian marketplace, advances in AI, and evolving tax policies, to reimagining valuation models, unpacking government programs, revisiting timeless case studies, exploring DEI in practice, and much more.

On October 6, Abbey will take part in a panel on "Expropriation". Expropriation is a critical and often complex issue affecting municipalities, property owners, and developers across Canada. This panel will discuss current key issues, including constructive taking, and compare legal frameworks and decisions from jurisdictions across Canada. Attendees will gain insights into compensation principles, procedural requirements, and strategies to effectively manage expropriation risks and disputes.

On October 7, Jeff will serve as one of four speakers during "Legal Legends: Timeless Tales From Four Wise Men", during which the panelists will share fascinating stories from their careers, including pivotal cases that changed their paths, key moments when the law took unexpected turns, and their observations on how the legal landscape has evolved over the years.
