About Kelly Fitzpatrick

Car accidents, occupiers' liability claims for injuries on someone else's property, property losses, first party disputes and accident benefits make up most of Kelly Fitzpatrick's caseload. On those files, Fitzpatrick has acted for insurers and for the people they insure.

A standout matter came in Lazare v. Harvey, a jury trial over claims for future income where Fitzpatrick was co-counsel. The verdict held up at the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada denied leave to appeal. Fitzpatrick was called to the Ontario bar in 2005.

Now an associate in the insurance defence group at Gowling WLG's Ottawa office, Fitzpatrick takes files from contested motions through to trials in the Superior Court.

Outside the courtroom, the Ottawa associate has given many presentations to clients and fellow lawyers and has written a number of legal articles. Fitzpatrick also holds a certification in alternative dispute and conflict resolution.
