I am a corporate and commercial lawyer and divide my practice between not-for-profit and charity law and business law. I was called to the bar of Ontario in 2010 and the bar of Alberta in 2015.
Prior to joining Mann Lawyers in August of 2023, I practiced for thirteen years at a mid-sized law firm in Ottawa. I am excited to continue this practice at Mann Lawyers LLP.
In my role as Not-for-Profit and Charity Law Group Lead, I work with a variety of clients from small not-for-profits starting out to large national organizations, advising them on governance, regulatory and compliance matters, transactions and agreements of all kinds. I am happy to assist with not-for-profit incorporations and charitable registrations in addition to providing support on more complicated matters. If you are interested in receiving information from Mann Lawyers about my upcoming webinars presented by the Mann Lawyers Not-for-Profit and Charity Law Group, you can register here.
In my business law practice, I work with local family-owned businesses and larger organizations that operate across Ontario or Canada. I have significant experience in mergers and acquisitions and contractual matters, including having worked the purchase and sale of professional practices. I also frequently work with clients on re-organizations, regulatory and compliance matters, the regulated professions and commercial agreements.
You can reach out to me in respect of any legal issue involving a not-for-profit, charity or business.
In my personal capacity I am a director on the board of the Canadian Nurses Foundation, the board of Roger Neilson House and a director, Secretary and Chair of the Governance Committee of the Ottawa Board of Trade.
A lifelong Ottawa resident, I graduated from Carleton University with a B.A. (with distinction) in Sociology, Minor in Women’s Studies in 2001 and from the University of Ottawa with LL.B. in 2009.
I am the proud mother of two sons and two German shepherd mix mutts and can usually be found on the weekend with my hands in the garden or my nose in a book.
