Most CPD is designed by people who have never carried a file. CPD & You is different — because Scott McEachern has.
As a former licensed paralegal and active paralegal coach, Scott knows what Ontario practitioners actually face: tight deadlines, difficult clients, procedural traps, and a need for training that actually sticks.
He built CPD & You to deliver exactly that — practical, dense, real-world continuing education for people with real practices.
No filler. No theory for theory’s sake. Just programs designed around the questions practitioners are asking and the skills they actually need.

Path one — Paralegal practice
During his years as a licensed paralegal, Scott built experience across the Landlord and Tenant Board, Small Claims Court, and the broader paralegal scope of practice.
He then moved into paralegal coaching, helping new and experienced practitioners develop the skills and confidence to handle their practices effectively.
Path two — Insurance
