I founded SWL to give business owners and HR leaders clear, practical legal guidance that moves their organizations forward.
With over 15 years in practice, my focus is strategic advice for business growth, crisis management, and litigation. My extensive experience gives me a broad perspective on your workplace law matter—from employment law to labour law, workers’ compensation, disability management, occupational health and safety, human rights, workplace foundations, and innovation practices.
Before laying out a legal strategy, I take time to learn your company’s values and your ideal outcome. That way, we build a clear plan focused on reaching your specific goals while protecting your business.
I am an accomplished and sought-after workplace investigator, known for an empathetic, straightforward approach that gives your organization the answers it needs to make important decisions.
I earned my law degree from the University of Toronto in 2010 and practiced at Heenan Blaikie and Hicks Morley before launching SWL in 2017. Outside the firm, I regularly speak on employment law, entrepreneurship, and women in business. I am a member of the Ontario Bar Association, the Canadian Bar Association, the Association of Workplace Investigators, and the Canadian Association of Workplace Investigators.
I am fluent in English and Brazilian Portuguese. When I am not working with clients and running SWL, I spend my time reading, studying conscious growth, staying active at the gym, and spending time in Brazil. I also volunteer with Instituto Internacional Rosas dos Ventos to teach, speak, and conduct workshops on conscious leadership.
