Working with Karen was an absolute game-changer for our energy firm. We faced a daunting challenge with a dispute over environmental contamination that could have severely impacted our operations. Karen's expertise in the energy sector, particularly with oil and gas matters, was evident from our first meeting at her office near the bustling Stephen Avenue Walk.

She navigated us through the complexities of our case with a strategic approach that was nothing short of impressive. Her knowledge of regulatory matters and her ability to articulate our position in terms that were both compelling and comprehensible made all the difference. Karen represented us in a series of critical hearings before the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, where her arguments were sharp and persuasive.

But what truly set Karen apart was her dedication. She was always available to address our concerns, providing clarity and reassurance during the most stressful moments. It was clear she was deeply invested in our case, and her efforts paid off spectacularly when we secured a favorable outcome.

Karen's reputation as a leading lawyer in energy law is well-deserved. Her work on high-profile cases, like the dispute involving Nova Chemicals Corporation, and her recognized expertise in both energy regulatory law and corporate commercial litigation, speak volumes of her capabilities.

For any energy company navigating the complex legal landscape, Karen is the ally you want on your side. Her professionalism, coupled with her genuine commitment to her clients' best interests, makes her an invaluable asset. Our experience was nothing short of exemplary, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
