Law360 Canada (March 19, 2020, 10:52 AM EDT) -- The Alberta Law Society has announced it was extending the trust safety annual filing deadline. Firms will now have until April 30 to submit their annual reports.

“A reminder that opportunities for fraud/theft historically have arisen in times like this.
