Your clients are relying on you to protect their security interests. Are you prepared?

Ontario’s Personal Property Security Act (PPSA) is a highly technical piece of legislation, demanding a detailed understanding of its rules and requirements. Failure to comply can have serious and costly consequences for your clients. This must-attend PPSA event is designed to help you get ‘up to speed’ in one day. The PPSA is complex and requires a sophisticated understanding in order to successfully navigate – and maximize the benefits – of its highly technical rules and requirements.
