Since commencing law practice in 2001, Laurie has dedicated herself to ensuring the highest level of service to her clients, providing the advice and support needed to guide them through the litigation process. Laurie understands that she and her team play an important role in helping clients understand their rights and obligations as they seek to rebuild their lives after an accident.

In 2014, Laurie was pleased to continue her work alongside her long-time team including partners, Colleen Burn and Éliane Lachaîne, at Burn Tucker Lachaîne, a firm dedicated exclusively to personal injury work on behalf of injured persons.

Laurie obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree (Honours History) from the University of Waterloo in 1996 and her law degree from Queen’s University in 1999, before moving to Ottawa to practice law.
