Insurance defence work sits at the centre of Dawn Phillips-Brown's practice as a litigation partner at Bennett Grant LLP, alongside disputes over estates and powers of attorney. Dawn also brings a lot of experience to professional negligence matters, and handles commercial litigation and debt recovery files too.
Law school for Dawn was the University of Western Ontario, after an undergraduate degree with distinction from Brock University. Articles followed at Madorin, Snyder LLP, the firm now known as Bennett Grant, and Dawn stayed on there as an associate once called to the bar in June 2009.
Other lawyers get to learn from Dawn as well. Estate litigation and practical ways for lawyers to minimize their risk are the usual subjects when Dawn speaks, which happens often, at continuing professional development sessions.
Dawn grew up in Waterloo Region and lives in Wilmot Township, where Dawn's family is raising three boys. Away from the office, Dawn serves on boards and pitches in with a range of fundraising events. In 2022 the Waterloo Law Association gave Dawn its Pillar of the Community Award.
