Toronto, Ontario
Overview
A partner in the firm’s Litigation and Health Law Groups, Lisa’s practice focuses primarily on advising and representing healthcare facilities and professionals, including long-term care homes, retirement homes, group homes, treatment foster homes and other residential congregate living facilities and their staff members.
Coupled with her impressive knowledge in health law, Lisa possesses strong advocacy skills and has appeared before several courts and tribunals, including the Licence Appeal Tribunal; the Health Services Appeal and Review Board; the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board; the Human Rights Tribunal; the Landlord and Tenant Board; the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal; discipline committees of regulatory colleges; the Superior Court of Justice; the Divisional Court; and the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Lisa’s vast experience has resulted in her acting as counsel in high-profile matters, including as counsel to a long-term care home operator in the 2018 public inquiry into the murders committed by a former registered nurse. Throughout the pandemic, Lisa was instrumental in assisting long-term care homes and other congregate living settings with matters relating to COVID-19 and has since been advising them on compliance with new legislative amendments that have arisen as a result.
