  • Why Indigenous equity and gaming M&A in BC will set a precedent across the country

    Why Indigenous equity and gaming M&A in BC will set a precedent across the country
    Jan 27 2026
    In this episode of CL Talk, Canadian Lawyer managing editor Tim Wilbur sits down with McCarthy Tétrault partner Pavan Jawanda to unpack a seismic shift in British Columbia’s gaming sector: First Nations moving from revenue-sharing arrangements to equity ownership and operational control of major casino assets. Jawanda, who has advised on the first seven First Nations casino M&A deals in BC, discusses how these transactions differ from conventional deals, why they require building timelines backwards from regulatory approvals, and how a generational investment horizon changes governance, risk, and community consultation. He also outlines how this Indigenous ownership model in gaming could influence deals in other regulated industries across Canada, including infrastructure and energy, as well as real estate.

    Joseph Neuberger on justice, wrongful accusations and life in criminal defence
    Jan 20 2026
    In this episode, managing editor Tim Wilbur sits down with Toronto criminal defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger, named one of Canadian Lawyer’s Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers in 2025, for a candid conversation about his three decades on the front lines of sexual assault and domestic violence prosecutions. Neuberger discusses why he calls wrongful accusations a “hidden crisis,” how investigative tunnel vision and digital evidence practices can derail cases, and what the R. v. F.Z. decision means for recognizing male victims of coercive control. He also discusses mentoring the next generation of defence counsel, building community through fundraising, and why he launched the Not On Record podcast to promote a more balanced conversation about criminal justice in Canada.

  • Misha Benjamin on AI governance and why Canadian businesses should avoid copy-paste rules

    Misha Benjamin on AI governance and why Canadian businesses should avoid copy-paste rules
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode, managing editor Tim Wilbur speaks with Misha Benjamin, partner and co-lead of the technology and AI practice at BCF in Montreal, about why Canadian businesses are “tying themselves in knots” over AI risk while falling behind more aggressive competitors. Benjamin draws on his experience at Ubisoft, Element AI, McKinsey, and Sama to explain how one-size-fits-all AI governance, vague bans on “confidential information,” and public generative tools without enterprise safeguards are fueling shadow AI, weakening IP protection, and eroding trust. He sets out what in-house counsel and business leaders should prioritize instead: sector-specific guardrails, clear deployment terms, traceability of AI-generated output, and training that enables employees to use these systems confidently and safely.
