With a long and accomplished career in politics, including acting as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, Peter MacKay is one of Canada’s most widely recognized lawyers. During his tenure in Ottawa, Peter was instrumental in developing and shaping the criminal justice system in Canada as we know it today.

In this episode of Of Counsel, Peter fondly reflects on his times as a prosecutor in his home province Nova Scotia, his rationale for the transition into politics, the decisions made during his tenure in the Department of Justice and what it accomplished for Canadian law. Peter also provides us a candid and passionate explanation of his present efforts towards combating human trafficking, while working as a full time lawyer, strategic advisor, and regulatory compliance counsel at the prestigious law firm Baker MacKenzie.
