“When I was younger, I was heavily involved in dance. To me there are many interesting parallels between dance and the art of law. Both involve the coordination of complex patterns, moving harmoniously with your team, and developing thoughtfully choreographed routines to deliver your desired result.”

Areas of Practice

Proud to be making an impact in her hometown of Hamilton.

Kayla was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. She completed her undergraduate at McMaster University before pursuing her law degree at the University of Birmingham in England, and her Master of Laws at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. Kayla is proud to return to Hamilton to practice law, representing Hamiltonians and others throughout the province.

Her work is rooted in a deeply analytical perspective. With every case, Kayla works tirelessly to understand her clients’ needs and goals, and provide them with honest, to-the-point advice.

An appreciation for the complex and dynamic nature of legal proceedings is key to Kayla’s success as a litigator. What may appear to be the best strategy when the case begins may evolve over time as more evidence comes to light. Through continued dialogue with her clients, Kayla leverages this perspective to adapt her strategies. This ensures she is always working towards the most favourable possible outcome.

When she isn’t practicing law, Kayla enjoys tap dancing, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
