ERIN H. DURANT

Erin is not taking new clients at this time. Contact her law clerk Wanda Michie for all inquiries: wmichie@durantbarristers.com​

​

Erin Durant is the founder of Durant Barristers, a litigation boutique located in eastern Ontario that has a broad range of litigation experience. Operating throughout Ontario and elsewhere in Canada, Erin administers the firm, assists her colleagues on case strategy and drafting, and consults for other law firms and legal workplaces.

 

Erin is available to consult with other lawyers and trial teams on case strategy and trial preparation. As an experienced adjudicator, she assists with mock hearings to test drive arguments.  She also assists legal workplaces to conduct workplace audits, improve culture, and improve workplace practices and procedures. She is a frequent paid speaker at workplaces attempting to manage various power dynamics such as workplaces, adjudicative bodies, and the sports sector.

​

Through a serious of unfortunate events, such as living in the rural expropriation study corridor, Erin has developed a significant interest about the Alto High-Speed Rail project. She has assembled a significant research database and writes regularly on the topic through her blog. Erin is not accepting any legal mandates involving the project due to the fact that she has a personal connection to the project and she has been a witness to the consultation-related issues. She is, however, willing to consider research engagements for advocacy groups, law firms, not for profits, municipalities or others working on the project.   Given Erin's interest in the matter, she is prepared to do this work at a significant discount. She is also interested in consulting on other infrastructure projects about issues such as blight, expropriation, best practices when conducting rural engagement, rural community dynamics and communications support.
