Kathryn regularly acts in cross-border matters, such as assisting foreign clients with enforcement of judgements in Canada.

Kathryn represents individuals and organisations both in the Canadian courts and in commercial arbitration proceedings.

In addition to her trial and arbitration experience, Kathryn has expertise in complex motion and appellate advocacy. Her experience extends to obtaining, executing and enforcing Anton Piller and Mareva injunctions to preserve assets at the outset of litigation in civil fraud matters.

Arb designation from the ADR Institute of Canada, and is also a member of the Toronto Commercial Arbitration Society, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and Arbitral Women. When acting as arbitrator, Kathyrn’s goal is to run proceedings that are efficient and cost-effective, utilising procedures that parties agree on to get to a hearing much more quickly than in the court system.
