Sophia practices civil litigation with an emphasis on insurance defence and is focused on personal injury and accident benefits. Prior to joining McCague Borlack, Sophia worked in the area of personal injury for a Plaintiff litigation firm which provided her with insight into both sides of a litigation case.
Also working at the Department of Justice, with Health Canada on their litigation team, Sophia handled many research projects and drafted memoranda of law on Charter challenges.
