Assistant:

Tamara is an advocate. She has appeared in the Ontario Superior Court, Ontario Court of Appeal, Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal. Tamara has extensive experience as arbitration counsel and with administrative tribunals and mediation.

Tamara practices in the areas of commercial litigation, debt collection, shareholder and partnership disputes, contract claims, leasing and real estate disputes, regulated industries, intellectual property, especially trademarks and licensing, employment matters and estate litigation. As a skilled litigator and fast learner, she is always keen to take on new challenges and learn about new industries.

Tamara ably simplifies complex problems and understands the business and human context for the legal issues with which she deals. She understands the importance of alternative dispute resolution through negotiation and mediation but recognizes that there are many matters that require adjudication on the merits. Tamara has appeared as counsel on several notable cases but is most proud of cases that she helped resolve before a final hearing was required or that proceeded expeditiously to an arbitration hearing.

Tamara is an active member of the litigation bar. She serves on the Board of Directors for The Advocates Society and on some of the Board’s committees and task forces. She participates on committees with Intellectual Property Institute of Canada. Tamara has written for several legal publications, has presented at continuing professional development seminars for lawyers and accountants and participates in mentoring initiatives and litigation skills instruction.
