Bio

Madison is developing a broad litigation practice. Before joining the firm, Madison clerked for Justice John Norris of the Federal Court, where she assisted on administrative, constitutional, immigration, and national security matters, including several high-profile cases. She also gained valuable commercial litigation experience at a mid-sized Toronto firm.

Madison obtained her J.D. from the University of Ottawa, graduating cum laude. In law school, she served as a research assistant for the Ottawa People’s Commission on the Convoy Occupation, analyzing the tension between the limits of lawful protest and the protection of Ottawa residents’ human rights. Her commitment to public law is further reflected in her work providing legislative support for the Honourable Senator Boyer and her time with Global Affairs Canada, where she contributed to counter-terrorism programming in the Middle East and North Africa.

Before law school, she completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a concentration in Public Law at Brock University, graduating with First Class Standing and receiving the Convocation Book Prize for the highest GPA in her graduating class.
