Wendy practises defamation, media and international trade law. She has appeared at all levels of court and successfully represented key clients across a range of industries. She has acted in some of the most significant decisions in Canadian defamation law, including recognition by the Supreme Court of Canada of a new defence of "public interest responsible communication." She acted for Prime Minister Stephen Harper in his defamation suit against the Liberal Party, defending allegations he knew of an act of bribery, and has represented various corporate clients and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. She is among the firm's key performers and contributes greatly both to developing new business and retaining clients. As a member of the marketing and business development committee, she regularly organizes events, delivers seminars and writes articles about issues relevant to firm clients. She devotes several hundred non-billable hours to firm and pro bono initiatives such as the Supreme Court of Canada intervention on behalf of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. She created and teaches a University of Ottawa course on defamation and media law.
