Karen’s focus is on parenting issues and complex property and support matters. Although collaboratively trained, Karen has considerable courtroom experience and has appeared at all levels of the Ontario courts. Karen will litigate if appropriate, however she encourages her clients to consider alternative dispute resolution processes such as collaborative law, mediation, and arbitration.

Karen graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2002. She articled at a large Bay Street law firm and has been practicing family law exclusively since she was called to the Ontario Bar in 2003.

Karen is a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Association for Family & Conciliation Courts. She was a presenter for the Toronto Family Information Session and has spoken at numerous Continuing Legal Education programs presented by the Law Society of Ontario.

Before being called to the bar in 2022, Lily articled at the Office of the Children’s Lawyer, assisting with the representation of children across the province. She has practiced only family law since her call. Lily quite literally grew up in the courthouse, as her grandmother is a retired Superior Court Judge.

Lily understands that the court process can be draining on a client’s emotional and financial resources and is prepared to negotiate on your behalf to reach a fair settlement. If that is not enough, she is also prepared to represent you in court to resolve your matter.
