Jaaron Pullenayegem is an associate at Rogers Partners LLP, where his practice focuses on civil litigation with a particular emphasis on insurance defence.
Jaaron rejoined the firm after completing his articles at Rogers Partners, during which he gained hands-on experience across a broad range of matters, including personal injury, occupiers’ liability, property damage, and subrogation claims. Known for his thoughtful approach, strong written advocacy, and practical problem-solving skills, he is dedicated to achieving effective outcomes for his clients.
Jaaron earned his J.D. from the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law, graduating with the highest overall standing in Contract Law, Tort Law, and Constitutional Law. He served as a Dean’s Fellow in Constitutional Law and contributed to academic research on corporate social responsibility in the wake of Nevsun Resources Ltd. v. Araya. As President of the Christian Legal Fellowship chapter at Lakehead, he demonstrated both leadership and a commitment to service.
While in law school, Jaaron also excelled outside the classroom. He competed as a varsity sprinter on the Lakehead Track and Field team and captained the university’s ultimate frisbee team—experiences that sharpened his ability to perform under pressure and lead with focus and resilience.
During the summers, Jaaron worked at Downsview Community Legal Services, where he represented clients before the Landlord and Tenant Board. These appearances strengthened his oral advocacy skills and reinforced his client-centered approach to legal practice.
Before pursuing law, Jaaron completed an Honours Bachelor of Business Administration at Wilfrid Laurier University, majoring in Strategy with a minor in Psychology. His diverse background includes roles as an analyst intern at a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm and as a counselor for at-risk youth in Toronto.
Outside the office, Jaaron is a competitive dragon boat paddler and enjoys rock climbing, exploring Toronto’s food scene, and studying the intersection of neuroscience and human performance.
