The Brand is Female Championing inclusivity in law, with Robyn Wishart
Robyn Wishart, a Vancouver-based personal injury lawyer, has been a force for change in the legal industry since 2001. At Wishart Brain and Spine Law LLP, she tackles complex injury and insurance cases AND challenges the industry's status quo. Wishart has leveraged her early experiences, including representing insurers like Lloyds of London, to advocate for her clients with a blend of tenacity and innovative legal strategies. Wishart brings a unique perspective to the practice of law. Her work, particularly in applying neuroscience to legal strategy, sets her apart and has made her a sought-after speaker and educator, even leading workshops at Harvard University's Ultimate Trial College—a first for a Canadian.
More than her legal achievements, Wishart is committed to creating a more inclusive and supportive workplace for women lawyers. Her firm is recognized for offering opportunities and fostering a more favourable culture for women than traditional law firms. This approach both enriches the firm and sets a new standard for the legal profession, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusivity in creating a successful and compassionate legal practice. Robyn's holistic approach to law underscores the importance of addressing clients’ legal and well-being needs, ensuring they focus on living full lives beyond their claims. Her leadership in promoting inclusivity and opportunities for women in law marks her as not just a legal advocate but a pioneering figure in shaping a more equitable legal landscape.
