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 mailing lists with no real sense of connection.
We’re left feeling our 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
We don’t charge by the event. Your membership unlocks a vibrant online community, engaging CPD content, and intimate in‑person events — all at no extra cost.
Private Forum
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, we have a space for it.
Curated Peer Groups
2
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.
We run quarterly facilitated calls — part group brainstorm, part group therapy — to help solve your most pressing problems.
Connect in a private chat to run questions by your peer group in between meetings.
Intimate 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.
Practical CPD
4
Your membership comes with enough CPD content to satisfy every Canadian Law Society.
Our monthly CPD events are rooted in the idea that people get more from practical examples than high-level lectures.
That’s why we deliver unique event formats you won’t find anywhere else, like legal writing teardowns, AI prompting demos, and live legal marketing audits.
As our members put it: “Inn Laws sessions are actually useful. That’s rare in continuing legal education.”
Resource Library
6
A community-driven source for 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).
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.
