Blaney McMurtry LLP Barristers & Solicitors

Suzanne Bailey's practice at Blaney McMurtry LLP focuses on defence insurance litigation and business immigration law.

"In the insurance area, I do defence work primarily in personal injury cases and occupiers' liability cases as well as products liability," she explains. "In business immigration law, I handle both temporary and permanent applications."

Her defence insurance work covers a wide legal area. She's defended pharmacists in negligence cases, retailers in "slip and fall" accident and general negligence cases and a provincial hockey organization for suits involving personal injury. Suzanne also advises risk teams for businesses on how to prevent insurance claims involving safety and security and avoiding personal injury. She has also defended false arrest and defamation claims.

Suzanne's business immigration practice includes handling work and study permit applications for temporary immigration applicants. "I also do applications for permanent residence for skilled workers and business immigrant applicants as well as sponsorship applications," she says. Her practice encompasses rehabilitation applications for persons who are criminally inadmissible to Canada.

She is a sub committee member of the Points of Entry to Canada committee of the Canadian Bar Association and meets regularly with directors and senior managers for all ports of entry. They discuss such issues as problems immigrants encounter in attempting entry to Canada, government staffing and the training of officers. The sub committee, composed of Suzanne and three other lawyers, also makes recommendations regarding improvements at border crossings.

Suzanne is also a member of the Canadian Bar Association, Citizenship and Immigration section and has spoken on Immigration Business Law to the Canadian Bar Association of Ontario and at Continuing Education Legal Seminars.
