Simon is an associate whose practice focuses on Indigenous, Commercial, and Construction litigation matters. Simon has appeared before the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal, all levels of court in Ontario, and the Courts of King’s Bench in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Additionally, Simon has assisted with Applications for Leave to Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Outside of Canada, Simon has appeared before the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals in the United States of America.
Simon’s Indigenous practice involves advancing treaty claims, land claims, cumulative effects, and reserve alienation.

In addition, Simon has experience in various band governance matters including judicial review of Chief and Council decisions and band election appeals.
Simon’s Commercial and Construction practices focus on general commercial and construction matters. Notable past experience includes representing a mine designer on the construction of a multi-billion-dollar greenfield potash mine, representing a contractor on the construction of a carbon capture facility, “bet-the-company” litigation, oppression and derivative actions, and several other contract disputes.
Simon is also the co-author of two chapters, Rule 16 – Service of Documents and Rule 17 – Service Outside of Ontario, in the Canadian Legal Information Institute’s (CanLII) textbook Civil Practice and Procedure in Ontario.
