“Lucas is a once-in-a-generation emerging leader and a change-maker in the legal profession. Lucas' determination to advance diversity, equity and inclusion is inspiring. He is a visionary institution builder that I have had the pleasure of working with on many projects. He transforms every institution he joins, from Osgoode Hall Law School and PBSC to BLG and the legal profession itself. And he does so with grace, good humour and an inclusive leadership style.”
