Diving straight into the heart of workplace dynamics, Leah positions herself as a linchpin for clients navigating the intricate world of employment, labour, and human rights law. Her passion lies in steering clients through the complexities of legal frameworks with a keen focus on preemptive strategies to dodge potential pitfalls. Leah's approach is deeply rooted in the human element of law, reflecting her dedication to crafting solutions that are not only legal but also practical and human-centric.

Leah's journey with Harris commenced in 2019, marking her entry as a summer student before she climbed the ranks to become an associate by 2021. Her pre-Harris experiences are diverse, having honed her skills across various sectors. She delved into labour relations as an intern at a Crown corporation, explored the nuances of IT staffing as a recruiter, and contributed to the federal government's Service Canada program, all of which sculpted her multifaceted skill set.

Her academic tenure was equally illustrious. As a law student, Leah not only excelled in her studies but also embraced roles that enriched her and her peers' educational journey. She stood out as a student ambassador and peer tutor, roles that underscored her leadership and dedication to communal growth. Her involvement in the Allard School of Law’s Business Law Clinic was particularly notable, providing invaluable legal counsel to small enterprises and not-for-profit entities. Her academic prowess did not go unnoticed, earning her several accolades including the Tevlin Gleadle Curtis prize for her excellence in Individual Employment Law and the Stikeman Elliot Award, a nod to her fervent interest in business law.

Her academic achievements were further complemented by a series of scholarships that celebrated her exceptional talents and dedication. These included the Ruth E Cameron Memorial Scholarship and the Kinu Uchida Memorial Scholarship in 2020, alongside earlier recognitions such as the Doris Curtis Memorial Scholarship and the Deputy Ministers’ Award of Excellence.

Leah’s professional acumen is underpinned by a solid educational foundation, holding a Juris Doctor (JD) from the University of British Columbia, achieved in 2020, and a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from the same institution, obtained in 2017. Admitted to the British Columbia bar in 2021, Leah has since focused her practice on workplace law, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to navigating and resolving the challenges that businesses and individuals face in the workplace. Her trajectory from a promising law student to a distinguished associate at Harris is a testament to her dedication, expertise, and the profound impact she aims to make in the realm of workplace law.
