Edwards Pollard LLP

About Edwards Pollard LLP

Edwards Pollard LLP is a personal injury and employment law firm in Oakville, Ontario. The firm handles motor vehicle, slip and fall, cycling, pedestrian, and dog bite claims, along with disability, life insurance, and critical illness denial claims, and employment matters such as wrongful dismissal and severance review. Partners Jill Edwards and Weston Pollard formed the firm after restructuring out of the Oakville firm MacDonald and Swan, and their former mentor, Stephen MacDonald, stayed on as counsel.

Edwards has dedicated the majority of a career in law to personal injury litigation and was called to the Ontario bar in 2001, after growing up in Oakville and starting a career in Toronto. MacDonald brings a longer history: a B.A. from Yale in 1973, an LL.B. from Queen's in 1977, and a 1979 call to the Ontario bar, followed by years at Thomson Rogers and then as a senior partner at MacDonald and Swan.

The team includes employment lawyer Emily Lukaweski, who has advised employees and employers for more than a decade, and personal injury lawyer Zahra Panju, who trained at the firm in law school and returned after articling.
