Anna has an impressively broad range of insurance experience and expertise, and she is widely recognized by British (numerous Lloyd’s syndicates), US and domestic insurers for her depth of knowledge of the insurance industry. A committed and experienced litigator, Anna’s practice is focused on challenging specialty, environmental and professional-negligence disputes. She is often sought out by insurers to defend insureds, render coverage advice, and provide claims-monitoring services with respect to professional-indemnity (often involving engineers or medical / healthcare professionals), directors’ and officers’, environmental, film production, products liability, sexual abuse, and other commercial general liability disputes. Anna has also provided defence and coverage advice in the context of class actions, in which complex, multi-layered insurance coverage is in play. Often, Anna’s mandates are sensitive, and require utmost discretion. She has appeared at all levels of court in Ontario. Also, she co-argued an appeal before the Supreme Court of Canada, on behalf of an international insurer, concerning a cross-border coverage dispute. Anna was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2000.
