Profile
Karen joined Whitelaw Twining in 2020 as an articled student and continued with the firm as an associate. She primarily practices in construction, commercial, and subrogation matters. Karen provides thorough analysis and practical solutions to obtain the best results for her clients. She has represented clients before the BC Supreme Court and BC Provincial Court.
Karen obtained her Bachelor in Laws directly after high school from Durham University in England and her Master in Laws (Common Law) from Allard Hall. She further developed her client advocacy skills through extensive work and volunteering with low income and vulnerable persons through the Battered Women’s Support Services, Access Pro Bono, the UBC Law Students’ Legal Advice Program, and the HALO Project in England.
