TOPIC
Few legal jobs could be more interesting than leading the Canadian charge for a dynamic, global software powerhouse such as German-based SAP. There is little, if any, reason to doubt SAP’s claim to be a world leader in enterprise software and software-related services. Operating in the Canadian market since 1989, SAP Canada serves over 9,000 customers and employs over 2,500.
Come and hear Barry Fisher, recently retired General Counsel at SAP Canada, reflect on his time at SAP and the path that lead him there, as TCLG and special guests celebrate his accomplishments and contributions to Canada and technology law.
Lunch will be served at noon and the presentation will begin at 12:30 pm.
ABOUT BARRY
Barry joined SAP in 1996 as the Associate General Counsel.
Until August 15th Barry was all of the following:
- Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of SAP Canada Inc.
- Chief Privacy Officer
- Member of the Executive Leadership Team and the Executive Leadership Advisory Council.
- Designated Official for the Federal Controlled Goods Program
- Chief Security Officer for the Federal Industrial Security Program.
- Fraud Reporting Officer
His path to SAP was very interesting and we’ll hear lots more about that at the event. Following his call to the Bar in Ontario and a clerkship, Barry practiced corporate securities and international law with a large law firm in the U.S. Midwest. He returned to Canada and practiced Canadian law with major law firms, and as a Foreign Legal Consultant opened the Toronto office of his U.S. law firm.
Prior to joining SAP, Barry was the General Counsel to a group of inter-listed mining companies. Barry holds undergraduate degrees in Economics and Philosophy, a Master’s Degree in Philosophy, and a law degree from the University of Western Ontario. He also earned an LL.M. while in the States.
