Amanda has carved a niche for herself in the legal landscape, serving both sectors that operate within the public sphere and private enterprises, with a keen focus on laws that govern the workplace. Her methodical yet innovative way of handling issues has made her a go-to for those seeking resolutions that are both effective and mindful of the finer details.
Her expertise isn't confined to just one area; she's adept at navigating the complexities of civil litigation across various court levels in British Columbia. Additionally, her prowess extends to tackling workers' compensation and ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety standards, engaging with entities like the WorkSafeBC Review Division and the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal to safeguard her clients' interests.
Amanda's legal journey was rigorously shaped by her academic endeavors at the University of Victoria, where she emerged with a Juris Doctor in 2016. Her academic phase culminated in a hands-on experience at The Law Centre in Victoria during her last semester. There, she didn't just manage a diverse caseload spanning civil and criminal matters; she also took on the mantle of representing clients in criminal defense cases in Provincial Court. This stint not only honed her litigation skills but also deepened her understanding of the intricacies of legal practice.
Before her current role at Harris, Amanda honed her litigation skills at a renowned boutique firm in Vancouver, where she served as an associate. This position further enriched her experience and sharpened her capabilities in dealing with intricate legal challenges.
Amanda's legal acumen is underpinned by a solid educational foundation that includes a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction from Simon Fraser University, obtained in 2012, before her law degree. Admitted to the British Columbia bar in 2017, she has since dedicated herself to areas of law that include workplace law, occupational health & safety, and workers' compensation, making significant strides in each field.
