The Jay Hennick LLB-MBA program will honour Jay Hennick, Founder and CEO of FirstService Corporation, a 1981 graduate and generous supporter of the University’s law school. "The Jay Hennick LLB-MBA program will create a new generation of leaders," said Bruce Feldthusen, Dean of the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law (Common Law Section). "To name it after Jay, a uniquely talented entrepreneur and lawyer, makes perfect sense." Hennick’s company, FirstService Corporation, is a leader in the rapidly growing service sector providing property management, commercial real estate, security, consumer and business services worldwide. The company has annualized revenues of US$1.1 billion and approximately 16,000 employees. His namesake program builds on the unique characteristics of the university’s Faculty of Law and School of Management. "I believe the program will produce lawyers who can better address the business needs of their clients; business executives who can better balance the legal challenges of contemporary corporate life and enable entrepreneurs to move seamlessly between both worlds," said Hennick
