Called to the Ontario Bar in July 2005, Anna C.

On January 1, 2022, True North Law Professional Corporation (www.tnorthlaw.ca) was launched. A boutique business law firm, True North Law services clients across Canada in both the for-profit and not-for-profit/charity sectors on day-to-day corporate and commercial legal matters.

Anna actively contributes her time and knowledge to both her professional and personal communities.
