About
Stephen’s practice involves civil litigation matters related to insurance law, the defence of personal injury actions, and medical-legal issues. In particular, he focuses on serious injury and wrongful death claims, as well as cases at the appellate court level.
Stephen is a widely published author on a variety of legal matters, including recent commentaries on appellate advocacy, expert evidence, and on summary judgment in the post-Hryniak world. Stephen presently sits as a Board member and contributing editor of the Canadian Institute – Insurance Law & Litigation Journal. Stephen is committed to the mentoring of young lawyers, both at the firm and within the profession at large.
Stephen has a passion for the law, including a belief in the profound difference a highly trained advocate can make, particularly on decision-making in the litigation process. Stephen believes that an advocate needs to be both a warrior and a trusted advisor.
