In her practice, Leah worked with an array of clients in Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and abroad. Through that role, Leah gained extensive experience marshalling the facts  and working with experts while involved in hearings in Canada, as well as the Falkland Islands and London.

Leah has written articles on construction law and contributed to annual civil procedure publications.
