Lisa R. Lifshitz was quoted by the Canadian Bar Association's National Magazine on championing diversity in legal tech.

The Canadian Technology Law Association (Can-Tech) wants to increase diversity in the tech sector.

"We recognize that we need to evolve," says Lisa R. Lifshitz, a partner at Torkin Manes, a past-President of Can-Tech and a member of its Diversity and Inclusion Working Group. "The tech industry is all about being fresh and pushing forward.
