Year of Call? 2002
Practice area? My practice area is insurance defence. While I handle tort litigation, I have a special interest in disability-related matters including claims arising from long-term disability policies (both group and individual), critical illness policies and life insurance claims. From time to time, I also handle litigated travel insurance claims.
What attracted you to this practice area? When dealing with litigated matter involving insurance contracts, I appreciate the nuances contained within contract verbiage and the challenges and complexities of medical-legal issues that characterize personal injury and disability litigation. I also enjoy learning about the human aspects of each and every personal injury case.
Challenges you have encountered and how have you overcome? The main challenge I have experienced is achieving the elusive work/life balance and once obtained, sticking with it. I have learned that if a task is incomplete at the end of the day, it does not mean that my day was not a success or productive.
