A Private Community for Canadian Lawyers
Inn Laws is an exclusive application-only membership for Canadian lawyers to share knowledge, build connections, and get all‑inclusive access to CPD.
Something happened to legal networking.
It used to happen in the real world. In courthouses, in hallways, over dinner after a brutal case. You met people, traded war stories, picked up hard-earned lessons. It was authentic.
Now? It’s transactional.
Stiff networking events. Self-promotional LinkedIn posts. Facebook groups and Listservs with no real sense of connection.
Some lawyers get lucky. Their law school friends are still close — same city, same practice area, same goals. A built-in brain trust for the questions you wouldn’t dare ask your managing partner.
The rest go it alone — feeling their way through a high-stakes career without a trusted circle to lean on.
That’s why we built Inn Laws.
A place where lawyers support each other. Where conversations are real, advice is practical, and no one’s trying to prove how smart they are. A community where you don’t have to posture, impress, or wear a suit to fit in.
This isn’t just another open forum. We interview and vet every member to make sure you’re surrounded by like-minded lawyers. People who want more than networking clichés. People who take their careers seriously — not themselves. People you’ll actually enjoy getting to know.
No schmoozing. No corporate small talk. No pretending you have it all figured out.
Just a trusted group to help you navigate your career — and a sense of community you won’t find anywhere else.
What You Get with an Inn Laws Membership
Your membership unlocks a vibrant online community, engaging CPD content, and intimate in‑person events — all at no extra cost.
The Inner Circle
1
An organized online space for member discussion
Timely answers and recommendations from lawyers who have been there, done that.
Take comfort in our strict acceptance policy — everything shared in our community comes from a vetted member.
Whether you want substantive law talk, career advice, business guidance, or help navigating a procedural roadblock, there’s a home for it.
Exclusive CPD
2
Your membership comes with enough CPD content to satisfy every Canadian Law Society.
We host at least one CPD-accredited event every month.
Unique workshops and panel discussions on topics you won’t find anywhere else — like our demo of the best AI prompts for lawyers.
Substantive seminars you’ll actually enjoy — no word-for-word slideshow recitations.
In-Person Events
3
Exclusive local events that make personal and professional connection feel natural.
From casual dinners and happy hours to museum tours and bowling nights, our events feel more like a hang with friends than a work obligation.
Structured networking sessions give you only the best parts of professional mingling. Forget about standing in a corner with the same three people.
Hosted by Inn Laws and always free to attend — just show up and enjoy.
Resource Library
4
Packed full of precedents, templates, and courses to accelerate your practice.
Access recorded CPD sessions on-demand.
Find documents that bring our membership’s collective knowledge to life — like salary reports to give you an upper hand on the job market.
Includes the 10 Red Flags of Bad Legal Writing course by Inn Laws founder Dylan Gibbs ($250 value).
Small Peer Groups
5
We match you with a group of 8-10 like-minded lawyers based on things like your location, year of call, practice setting, and goals.
Think of this as a group of close friends you can ask for anything.
Connect in a private chat to ask your toughest questions in a small, safe space of trusted peers.
Our team will run quarterly facilitated calls, so you can build deeper connections and discuss anything you can’t cover by text.
Innsider Retreat
6
Down the road, we’ll host a members-only gathering for the entire community.
Unwind with Innsiders from across the country in a setting that’s the opposite of stuffy.
Build your knowledge and connections with on-site CPD and facilitated networking.
This is the only Inn Laws event we’ll ask you to pay for, because we recognize some members won’t be able to attend.
