Sean was called to the Bar in 2010 and has already enjoyed several Court victories on behalf of his clients.

Sean is an associate in the firm's litigation group with a focus on insurance and commercial matters, primarily in the fields of product liability, property damages, motor vehicle liability, accident benefits including priority and loss transfer disputes, professional negligence, coverage and personal injury. Before practicing law, Sean developed competitive business strategies as a brand manager for several international consumer packaged goods organizations.

Examples of some of the unique challenges Sean has been able to assist clients with include:

• Quashing an Appeal and Obtaining Protection from Future Frivolous Litigation
  Sean obtained an order quashing the appeal of an individual seeking $2M in damages. The Federal Court and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice both dismissed the initial case, and the plaintiff appealed the Ontario matter to the Divisional Court. The Court agreed that, in addition to being deficient in a number of ways, the appeal was without merit, and the appeal was quashed with costs. In addition, the Court granted Sean's request that no further proceedings could be continued or instituted by the plaintiff / appellant against any of the defendants named in the proceedings except by leave of a judge of the Superior Court of Justice.
  Saiyegh v. Canadian Intelligence (RCMP), 2011 ONSC 915.
  
• Summary Judgment Dismissing Claim Affirms University Jurisdiction on Academic Matters
  Sean defended a university alleged to have wronged a student, thereby causing a delay of the student's entry into the workforce and decreased earning capacity. The plaintiff had alleged the basis for the action was negligence, and while the Ontario Superior Court confirmed its jurisdiction to hear the claim, the Court agreed that the action should be dismissed as it was in substance an indirect attempt to appeal an academic decision. The Court agreed that the university's actions were within its discretion, and that by enrolling at a university, a student agrees to be subject to the institution's discretion in resolving academic matters, including the assessment of the student's performance and the procedure for academic appeals.
