Canadian Lawyer Magazine quotes Toronto lawyer Victoria Mitrova in an article on forming a partnership to create in-house department.
The upshot was that Victoria Mitrova, a Toronto-based associate in Fasken’s health group, has spent the last few months working full time, on-site, and hand-in-hand with Ismail providing legal advice and helping to develop the new team by determining SE’s needs and the expertise required in the legal department.
“Being fully integrated with SE has allowed me to become part of the broader health care team that is involved in managing risk, which has been key to understanding the organization’s culture and needs,” Mitrova says. “And having this kind of internal perspective and contact is fundamental to developing good relationships between SE’s internal team and our lawyers and addressing solutions properly going forward.”
