About Cassandra Khatchikian

Cassandra Khatchikian defends insurance companies and health care professionals from Gowling WLG's Ottawa office. A senior associate in the firm's Advocacy department, Cassandra practises general litigation, including insurance defence, commercial disputes and professional liability. In the insurance defence and commercial work, Cassandra acts for a broad range of institutional clients, insurers among them.

Cassandra was called to the Ontario bar in 2017, a year after earning a JD at the University of Ottawa, the same school where an honours social sciences degree with a criminology specialization came first. Clients get a litigator who's been in front of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Small Claims Court and the Licence Appeal Tribunal.

In 2020 Cassandra wrote two pieces through Gowling WLG, one on what Ontario's amended simplified procedure rules meant for insurers and another on cyber insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2026, Best Lawyers has recognized Cassandra in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Canada for Insurance Law.
