They step into their leadership roles next year
The Law Society of Saskatchewan has elected Adam Touet as its new president for 2025, with James Fyfe, K.C. coming in as vice president.
The legal body’s board made the appointments official at its meeting this month.
Based in Saskatoon, Touet is a partner at W Law LLP. His practice focuses on civil litigation, employment law, and aboriginal law. A qualified arbitrator, he has appeared before all levels of Saskatchewan court, before the Federal Court of Canada, and before boards and tribunals.
He became a bencher in 2021 and has chaired the conduct investigation committee. He was also on the competency, discipline policy, equity and access, nominations, and governance committees.
Touet represented Saskatchewan on the Western Provinces Competency Framework Task Force. He also volunteered at the Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education as an instructor.
He was called to the bar in 2007 after graduating from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law in 2006. He articled with McDougall Gauley LLP.
Fyfe was a Crown prosecutor in Regina for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice and became part of the Constitutional Law Branch in 2005. He has litigated at all levels of court, focusing on aboriginal law.
Like Touet, Fyfe became a bencher in 2021. He has been a member of the ethics, conduct investigation, discipline policy, competency, and the future of legal services committees.
He joined the Law Society’s continuing professional development planning committee and was a Pro Bono Law Saskatchewan volunteer.
Fyfe was called to the Saskatchewan Bar in 2002 after obtaining his law degree from the University of Saskatchewan. He also holds a master’s in law from Osgoode Hall Law School.
The Saskatchewan Law Society regulates legal practice in the public interest and oversees about 2,100 active practicing members. The board (benchers) comprises elected Law Society members and government-appointed public representatives.
