Two associates join St. John’s office
We welcome Robert Bradley and Sarah Pinsent as the newest associates in St. John’s.

Sarah will work to assist clients in the areas of general litigation, as well as insurance, health and municipal issues. Called to the bar in 2018, she has appeared before a number of provincial courts and boards, providing thoughtful and well-researched opinions.
