Professional Background

As an insurance defence and employment law litigator, Taran combines strong communication and negotiation skills with an ability to adapt her approach and tactics on every file. Backed by her thorough research, she represents all her clients with single-minded focus until a satisfactory resolution can be reached.

Her insurance defence practice includes working with claims handlers and adjusters to resolve property, bodily injury, and motor vehicle claims. From conducting the initial research on a claim to developing and modifying the strategy needed to settle a claim fairly and efficiently, Taran always ensures her clients are involved and kept up-to-date on the developments of a file.

Employees facing a wrongful termination, constructive dismissal, or human rights violation turn to Taran for help and guidance. Taran’s clients can count on her for a detailed explanation of their options, the risks, and the steps required to resolve their dispute. Taran also reviews contracts for employer to ensure compliance with the latest changes in employment law and provides proactive advice on the steps employers should take when terminating an employee.

Taran grew up in Calgary and London, England where she also completed her law degree.  Her undergrad degree in philosophy taught her critical thinking, but she relaxes by exercising the right side of her brain as a visual artist. A few of her works can be seen adorning her office walls on Zoom calls.
