Forget everything you expect from your typical legal fundraiser.

No linen tablecloths. No awkward small talk.

Instead, enter a dynamic creative space where law, art, music, food, and well-being intersect.

The Flourishing Lawyer Event is an immersive evening designed to inspire connection, creativity, and renewal within the legal community. Hosted by ASSIST, this unique experience brings together lawyers, judges, and supporters for something truly different - an event that nourishes both professional growth and personal well-being.

Whether you’re seeking fresh inspiration, deeper connection, or a more human approach to supporting the legal profession, this is not just an event - it’s an experience.

Heidi Brown brings a thoughtful, human-centred perspective to the stage as our featured guest speaker. A renowned law professor, author, and leading voice on well-being in the legal profession, Heidi is widely known for her work exploring the intersection of law, creativity, and sustainability. Drawing on her research and lived experience, she will guide guests through how creativity can serve as a powerful tool for resilience, renewal, and long-term fulfillment in legal practice. Her insights challenge conventional approaches to success in law and invite a more balanced, sustainable way forward - one that will surely resonate far beyond the evening itself.

Allison Sears brings sharp wit, commanding presence, and impeccable timing to the stage as our live auction auctioneer. A partner at Fasken and a highly respected energy and environmental lawyer, Allison is equally known for her legal expertise and her standout sense of humour. She had the room in stitches with her hilarious roast at the Calgary Bar Association event in December, and she’s ready to bring that same energy, confidence, and charisma to drive the bidding at our fundraising event. With Allison at the mic, expect fast-paced fun, big laughs, and a truly unforgettable auction experience.

Get ready to experience the hidden talents of the legal community with live musical performances by local law professionals throughout the evening. You won't want to miss these authentic, heartfelt performances from members of the legal profession showcasing their creative side.

Enjoy the elegant piano stylings of Michele Stanners & Greg Shannon, alongside soulful saxophone care of Tiro Clarke and guitar tunes from Marc Cunningham. Bios coming soon!
