The Law Society of Ontario has retained outside counsel to conduct an independent review of an employment contract that raised CEO Diana Miles’s annual salary by more than 50 per cent to nearly $1 million without the approval of the society’s governing board.
Most of the “benchers” who make up the Law Society’s board have expressed concern over the new contract that was negotiated by the LSO’s former treasurer, Jacqueline Horvat, say three people with direct knowledge of the matter but who are not authorized to speak publicly about it.
