 Overview

As an Associate in the firm’s Commercial Litigation Group, Alex is channeling her passion for litigation into developing a general practice with a special focus on Bankruptcy Reorganization and Insolvency as well as Fraud Recovery. She regularly represents clients in a competent and cost-efficient manner in a wide range of areas and has argued before the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Superior Court of Justice for Ontario, including the Toronto Commercial List and Bankruptcy Court, and various boards and tribunals. She is known for her quick critical thinking, strong analytical skills and for the creativity she brings to legal problem-solving.

During her time as an Associate, Alex has been involved in complex cases, including in a high profile insolvency case, a five-week trial involving a major utility company, and actions rooted in oppression, civil fraud and fraudulent conveyance. In the context of her Fraud Recovery practice, Alex successfully brought motions for Mareva injunctions, Norwich orders and certificates of pending litigation. She also successfully represented a trustee in bankruptcy in a matter involving transfers at undervalue, preferences and fraudulent conveyances, both in first instance and on appeal.

Alex is methodical with information tracking and the management of complex matters, and tireless in the pursuit of her clients’ goals. This approach has served her well and continues to help her work efficiently and effectively in her practice today.
