In the December 19th, 2013 Globe and Mail’s Report on Business Adam Lepofsky was recently quoted discussing the issues surrounding mandatory retirement ages that although many industries no long enforce, many firms still do.

It’s a huge challenge… The business of law, just like any other business, is a relationship business.”
