Grounding in a strong academic foundation and eighteen years of direct legal and educational experience, Simmi approaches mediation with a unique blend of legal insight and conflict resolution expertise.

She graduated from York University in 2003 with an Honours Bachelor of Arts, double majoring in Philosophy and Law & Society. In 2007, she earned her Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from the University of Windsor and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2008.

Simmi spent the earlier part of her career as an insurance defence litigator before transitioning to the personal injury side. She participated in numerous mediations representing both plaintiffs and defendants during this time. Her extensive involvement in complex e-discovery (including matters of mergers and acquisitions, contractual disputes, and employment law) ensures she is adept at navigating disputes across diverse industries and quickly synthesizing high-volume, complex case materials.

A key differentiator is her fourteen years as an educator, notably teaching the principles of mediation across various courses in Humber College’s Paralegal Diploma and Graduate Certificate programs. In this role, she actively advocates for the benefits and importance of settlement and resolution.

This combination of litigation experience, knowledge of various industries and areas of law, and mediation focused education allows Simmi to approach disputes with both legal insight and a deep understanding of conflict resolution principles. Her goal is to help parties move beyond positional bargaining and toward practical, sustainable agreements. Her approach is grounded, impartial, and informed, giving her a clear understanding of both the legal context and the human dynamics behind conflict.

While specializing in insurance and personal injury matters, Simmi also assists with a wide range of non-family civil disputes, including contract disputes, property issues, and employment conflicts.

Services are offered both virtually and in-person.
