Summary

Simon Margolis is a lawyer currently pursuing an LLM in Taxation at Osgoode Hall Law School. Prior to his LLM he worked as a litigator and knowledge management lawyer at a national firm in their Toronto office. Simon is also autistic and, prior to moving to Canada for law school, gained policy experience at a major autism rights organization in Washington, DC just as the neurodiversity movement hit the mainstream.

In this online seminar, Simon will tell his story and will set some ground points on how to better support your neurodivergent colleagues. He will focus primarily on supporting neurodivergent lawyers who are already employed but will also include tips on recruitment. Simon will also explain what distinguishes neurodiversity from many other DEI/EDI initiatives and the potential pitfalls of some remedial measures that employers may take to assist their neurodivergent employees.
