About Donna M. MacKenzie
Medical defence is the heart of Donna M. MacKenzie's practice. Donna is a partner at Gowling WLG in Ottawa and often works alongside the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA), defending claims made against the association's members.
Donna was called to the Ontario bar in 1993, two years after earning an LLB at the University of Ottawa, and practises within the firm's Advocacy Department. Before settling into medical defence, Donna's caseload leaned toward litigation and hearings before administrative tribunals, mostly in health law and professional liability matters.
Chambers Canada ranks Donna in Healthcare: Contentious on a nationwide basis, and its 2027 guide marks six years of ranking. Away from client files, Donna currently sits on the board of a local charitable educational institution.
