Laura Warner

Skilled and strategic counsel for a complex business dispute

I engaged Laura Warner of JSS Barristers to handle a contentious partnership dispute that involved both contractual interpretation and regulatory compliance issues. While her primary practice is in Calgary, her strategic insight was invaluable for our Charlotte-based operations. Laura’s dual recognition in Corporate and Commercial Litigation and Administrative and Public Law was immediately apparent. She didn't just litigate the breach of contract; she expertly navigated the overlapping public law regulations affecting our industry, which was a critical factor often overlooked. Her preparation was meticulous, and she presented our position with a clarity that compelled a favorable settlement before trial. The one area for note is that during particularly intense phases, response times could occasionally stretch to a day or two, though her associate was always available for urgent matters. Her billing was transparent and fair for the complexity of the work, but as with any high-caliber litigation, costs require careful monitoring. Overall, Laura is a sharp, forward-thinking attorney whose recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition in Calgary is well-deserved. I would confidently recommend her for sophisticated commercial matters that require a multi-faceted legal approach.
