Allard Law & Business Society

Allard Law & Business Society The ALBS provides excellent networking opportunities for 1Ls to get to know lawyers and law firms. Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia.

OUR MISSION
The Allard Law & Business Society (“ALBS”) is a student organization at the Peter A. We are dedicated to promoting the discussion of business law topics, while helping to establish Allard Law as a premier business law education destination. The ALBS provides excellent networking opportunities to get to know lawyers and law firms through a variety of activities, inside & outside of the

law school. Specifically, the ALBS partners with over a dozen law firms each academic year to host networking events, social activities, and business law seminars for small groups of first year students from Allard Law. Our small-scale events are unparalleled in the first year calendar and provide unique opportunities to make meaningful connections between students and firms. Every year, four 1L students (one per small group) are elected by their peers to represent the ALBS. Each elected 1L Representative gets the opportunity to liaise with three to four corporate law firms and organize events for their classmates to attend. Not only is this a fantastic way to meet lawyers and get to know some large Vancouver firms, it’s always a fun night out!

Kick off the new year with Dentons & ALBS on Tuesday, January 17th from 5:30-9pm at the Dentons Negotiation Competition! Registration will open via Eventbrite on Wednesday, December 21st at 12:30pm (link below). This event is for Allard 1L only.

At the event, pairs of students will represent a fictional client and compete against each other in a fast-paced negotiation competition in the presence of Dentons lawyers! There will also be a reception with food and drinks after the competition. This is a friendly environment to show off your negotiating skills, and a great opportunity to meet many lawyers from Dentons and interact in an intimate setting. Please note that attendees will receive the “fact pattern” about a week in advance.

Spaces are limited so make sure to sign up ASAP! Please note that once you sign up, your names will be sent to the firms and you must show up (your reputation may take a hit if no-show).

Note on Eventbrite: We have noticed there is a lag time from sell-out to the waitlist and would like to offer a clarification. When all the available tickets are in the carts, Eventbrite will say it is “unavailable”. This is because Eventbrite is waiting for everyone to complete the checkout before starting the waitlist. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope this clears up the confusion!
