The Toronto Lawyers’ Association is thrilled to welcome our new Board President, Robin McKechney for the 2026-2027 term.

Robin has actively contributed to the TLA community since joining the Board of Directors in 2015. He joined the Executive Committee in 2021 and has steadily taken on greater leadership responsibilities, benefiting from the mentorship of past presidents and the collaboration of a devoted board.

A strong advocate for connection within the legal profession, Robin underscores the importance of engagement for building stronger bonds and for professional development. He champions TLA events as key opportunities to foster camaraderie, promote civility, and strengthen Toronto’s legal community.

Reflecting on the organization’s legacy and impact, McKechney says: “The strength of the TLA has always been its members. Our goal is to continue to provide opportunities for our members to collaborate, advocate and grow together as lawyers and as colleagues.“
