I am an Associate at Mann Lawyers and the Lead of the Firm’s Commercial Litigation Practice.

My practice is dedicated exclusively to litigation, with a particular emphasis on commercial disputes. I have experience handling a broad range of litigation matters, including contractual disputes, collections (including enforcement), franchise disputes, shareholder and oppression matters, property and real estate disputes, and procurement disputes. I also have experience representing parties involved in insolvency matters, including receiverships and CCAA proceedings.

In addition to my commercial litigation practice, I am a member of the firm’s Estate Litigation Group, where I handle disputes involving estates as well as power of attorney and guardianship matters.

I articled with Mann Lawyers and was called to the Bar in 2017. I earned my law degree from Queen’s University in 2016, where I was actively involved with Queen’s Legal Aid, assisting students and Kingston residents with a variety of legal issues. Prior to law school, I graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Political Science and Public Administration.

Outside of the office, I enjoy travelling and trivia, and I am an avid football fan and enjoy watching a wide range of sports.

If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
