Experience

Kimberley is an Associate with Parlee McLaws. She began her legal career with a multi-national firm in Toronto in 2010. Following her relocation to Calgary in 2013, she continued her legal career in both private practice and as in-house counsel for one of Canada’s largest insurance companies. She joined Parlee McLaws as an Associate in 2023.

Kimberley’s legal practice primarily focuses on litigation, specializing in insurance defence and commercial litigation. While Kimberley is well versed in the procedures of litigation, she also has extensive experience with alternative dispute resolution forums, such as settlement meetings, judicial dispute resolutions, and mediations. In addition to her extensive ADR experience, she completed her formal mediation training with the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) and the ADR Institute of Alberta (ADRIA) and is offering her services as a mediator.

In her spare time, Kimberley enjoys chasing her family down the ski hill, cycling, walking the family dog, and knocking the ball around on the golf course.
