What I'm looking for

I seek a role in labour/employment law or compliance offering advocacy, complex case work, remote-friendly culture, and opportunities to develop arbitration and tribunal practice.

I am a licensed Barrister and Solicitor with the Law Society of Ontario, experienced in employment, labour, and administrative law across unionized and non-unionized workplaces. I deliver rigorous legal research, statutory interpretation, and persuasive written advocacy—drafting pleadings, memoranda, contracts, and workplace policies while supporting arbitration, mediation, and tribunal matters.

I bring international experience and adaptability from in-person and remote practice, proven through articling and summer positions at labour-focused firms and an immigration firm abroad. I am known for meeting tight timelines, managing complex document review and e-discovery, and advancing client interests with clear, well-reasoned legal analysis.
