Vancouver (Canada) – Jenny Francis will be the new Regional Managing Partner for Fasken in British Columbia, effective January 1, 2024.
Jenny is a leading litigator who has developed a robust practice. She resolves complex business disputes, consistently delivering sound judgement and expertise to help her clients successfully navigate their most difficult issues. She also has considerable experience in law firm management, including as commercial litigation practice group manager and a member of the Firm’s Partnership Board.
Committed to giving back to the profession and community, Jenny has served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, teaching Advanced Trial Advocacy and Civil Procedure. She frequently contributes to professional conferences including continuing legal education and The Advocates’ Society and volunteers at Ronald McDonald House of BC.
Jenny Francis will take over from William Westeringh, KC, who has led the BC region for over 17 years. During Will’s time as Regional Managing Partner, Fasken became the largest law firm in BC, opened a new office in Surrey and became one of the leading brands and firms in the province’s legal sector. Under his leadership, Fasken supports a wide variety of community endeavours from assisting in times of need to partnerships and events that involve the whole Firm.
Fasken has elected several new leaders in both Firm-wide and regional positions with the Regional Managing Partners in Alberta and South Africa remaining in place. This provides both continuity and momentum for the Firm as it continues its growth trajectory into the future.
“The Partnership Board would like to congratulate all of the new leaders and looks forward to collaborating across the Firm as we continue to support our clients’ success across markets and ensure we are well-positioned to meet future needs,” said Katherine M. Pollock, Chair of the Firm’s Partnership Board. “We would also like to extend our gratitude to their predecessors for their invaluable leadership.”
