Fasken has partnered with ICON Talent Partners to create a scholarship program for first-year Black and Indigenous students attending Canadian law schools. The program grants ten $2,000 scholarships in addition to mentorship from a Fasken lawyer, the opportunity to attend sessions led by Fasken lawyers and, if feasible for the student, an opportunity to meet their Fasken mentor onsite for an office tour.
We are also the sponsor to the ICON Symposium event. The ADVANTAGE Symposium is a curated event to expose Black, Indigenous and POC communities to the various opportunities available in competitive sectors such as venture capital, investment banking, corporate law, asset management, management consulting, technology/innovation, tech start-ups, insurance, sports and entertainment and more.
