Elder Law, the ITL Landscape, and the Ecosystem of Law with Rachel A. Sachs

This week on Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Rachel A. Sachs, a Filipino-German Canadian lawyer and the founder of Sachs Law Professional Corporation.Rachel has intentionally built her practice around serving older adults, a decision deeply rooted in her family history and her profound respect for the elders who shaped her life. Before opening her own firm, she navigated corporate compliance, studied in the UK, and became a prominent advocate for Internationally Trained Lawyers (ITLs) in Canada.We discuss the unspoken biases against aging clients, why the legal market is failing foreign-trained talent, and how to actually get value out of legal mentorship.
