Merella Botros

Profile

Merella has a broad insurance defence practice. She practices in complex bodily injury, property, and professional liability.  Merella continues to expand her practice areas to meet her clients’ needs.

Prior to working at Whitelaw Twining, Merella practiced personal injury law at a prominent law firm. This experience taught her how to build a case from the ground up, as well as recognize the evidence she needs to bolster a case. After a successful verdict in a jury trial as co-counsel, Merella gained understanding in how to effectively present a case.  Merella takes a big picture approach to her files.  She is able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a case and determine the appropriate course of action in light of the evidence. This allows Merella to provide her clients with the best outcome in a timely and cost-effective manner. Merella has been recognized by her peers as “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch” in Personal Injury Litigation for two consecutive years. Merella now uses her previous experience and insight to defend insurance claims.

In her free time, Merella enjoys travelling and spending time with her family. She also likes baking, reading, and exploring local coffee shops.
