April 4, 2025

On March 27, 2025, Convocation voted to release The Hon. Dennis O’Connor’s report and legal opinion on the CEO compensation issue at the Law Society of Ontario.

Two key findings are made clear in the O’Connor report. Firstly, the correct process was not followed by the former CEO and former Treasurer in approving a CEO pay increase. Secondly, governance changes can be made to help prevent recurrence.
