More Information:

Erin excels in the legal landscape of Alberta's construction and surety sector. She skillfully guides a diverse clientele, including owners, developers, and various construction professionals, through the complex journey of construction projects. Her guidance encompasses all phases, from contract inception to project culmination and beyond.

Her expertise spans the full gamut of conflict resolution methods, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation, especially in disputes over large commercial and infrastructure endeavors. Erin's counsel is particularly sought after in high-stakes disagreements over builders' liens, procurement processes, construction agreements, and the creation of significant structures like hospitals and transportation infrastructure.

Moreover, Erin's proactive approach involves offering strategic advice and risk management solutions throughout the construction process. She has notably represented a design-build contractor in a complicated dispute related to highway construction in Alberta. Her role in a multi-party arbitration for a construction manager dealing with a large hospital project in northern Alberta highlights her adeptness in navigating complex legal waters, where she addressed claims involving multiple subcontractors and the public owner.

Erin's experience also includes representing a general contractor in a series of disputes stemming from deficiencies during a hospital project in Saskatchewan. Her insights into the construction industry are shared through various publications and articles, addressing topics like environmental impacts of construction, the nuances of builders' liens for commercial landlords, and the dynamics of contract termination and price escalation clauses.

Her professional commitment extends beyond legal practice. Erin is an active member of the Canadian and Calgary Bar Associations and contributes to the construction section of the Canadian Bar Association. Her community service record is impressive, with volunteer work for organizations like Dress for Success Calgary and Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada, and teaching English to newcomers in Calgary.

Her contributions to the field have not gone unnoticed, earning her recognition as a future star in Benchmark Litigation Canada and a spot on the “40 & Under Hot List.” Erin, who has been admitted to the Alberta Bar since 2011, holds a JD and a BA with first-class honors from the University of Calgary, further enriching her profile with a certificate in Eastern European studies.
