Eliza is a member of our Civil Litigation and Insurance Law service areas, where a significant portion of her practice involves acting on behalf of major insurance companies to defend automobile accident, property damage, occupiers’ liability, and product liability claims. Eliza also works with members of the Administrative Law and Family Law groups. 
 
Eliza graduated from the Schulich School of Law (Dalhousie University), where she received the Justice R. N. Pugsley Trial Award, McKelvey Cup - Best Cross Examination, and the Robert E. Bamford Memorial Award for academic excellence and commitment to the law school. During law school, Eliza was the Editor-in-Chief of the Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies and President of the Weldon Literary Moot Society, responsible for such notable theatrical productions as The Trial of Frankenstein and The Trial of Robin Hood.
 
Outside of work, Eliza enjoys reading military history and attempting to improve her admittedly mediocre drawing and sewing skills.
