Senior Associate

• Mar 2019 - Present

Practical and solution-focused, I assist clients with domestic contracts, property, support, and child-related issues, particularly in high conflict, complex custody and access and high net worth matters. Highly skilled in mediation and arbitration, I am recognized as an Accredited Family Mediator by the Ontario Association for Family Mediation, and a Certified Specialist in Family Mediation by the Family Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario. Clients benefit from my ability to both negotiate a resolution out of court and litigate successfully on their behalf. In my mediation practice, I bring my background in social work, alongside my knowledge of the law, to help clients creatively resolve their family law disputes. I always present my clients with reasonable decisions, ensuring that they understand the process and feel heard during this very emotional time in their lives.
