ABOUT SARAH KIRSHIN-NEILANS

Sarah was born and raised in London, Ontario and has been a proud member of the London bar for her entire career, serving clients throughout Southwestern Ontario. She practiced for 13 years at a well-respected boutique litigation firm in London before joining McKenzie Lake in June 2021.Sarah has an excellent knowledge of all aspects of motor vehicle accident, occupier’s liability and medical malpractice litigation. She is particularly proud of her efforts in assisting elderly clients who have suffered serious injuries from slip and falls, and families who have lost their loved ones as a result of the negligence of others. Sarah has also represented numerous individuals in claims against their insurers for denied short-term/long-term disability benefits and in claims against their employers for wrongful or constructive dismissal, and often in claims where these two issues intersect. Over the years, she has been successful in obtaining millions of dollars in compensation for her clients.While Sarah’s practice has always focused on helping those disabled by injury or illness, she also acted for some of Canada’s top insurance companies for the first 9 years of her career. Her insurance defence experience gives her an advantage over other personal injury lawyers: she understands the complexities of insurance, as well as the motivations of insurers, which helps her to make strategic and tactical decisions when representing people in claims against insurance companies.In her spare time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her husband and children and horseback riding.
