Interview with Veronica (Vera) McGuire, retired Ontario Provincial Prosecutor 

What professional skills are you developing today that will still serve you five or ten years from now?

In this episode of Sister-in-Law: The Paralegal Journey, I sit down with Veronica (Vera) McGuire, a former Ontario Provincial Prosecutor and instructor whose career has taken her through the courtroom, prosecution, teaching, mediation, and professional leadership.

Vera shares lessons from her career and why she believes negotiation and mediation are some of the most valuable skills a paralegal can develop.

We also talk about mentorship, owning your mistakes, work-life balance, and the importance of developing skills that will continue to serve you wherever your legal career takes you.
