Lawyer and Strategist - I specialize in litigation and helping companies and not-for-profits manage risk and prevent lawsuits.

I'm a litigation lawyer with over a decade of experience in civil and commercial litigation. My practice is focused on business and property disputes (real and intellectual).

I'm a fierce advocate and creative problem solver with extensive experience representing clients inside and outside the courtroom to achieve a wide range of goals, often in new and untested areas of law.

I have represented clients at all levels of court in Ontario and from issuing claims to trials and appeals.  I'm a passionate advocate focused on delivering quality results and value to my clients.

Last week, I had a lawyer yell at me for the first time in about 10 years.

It was bizarre.

I reached out asking for standard documents and information after getting onto the record. Instead of discussing the matter civilly, she immediately raised her voice and refused to even discuss working towards a resolution.

So I told her to have a fabulous day, got off the call, and finalized motion materials.

I wasn’t about to escalate.

I reached out in the hope of resolving things amicably.

Instead? We’re heading to court, and seeking costs.

Here’s the truth: yelling at litigators doesn’t work.

We’re tough. We’re prepared.

All it does? Slow things down and rack up costs.

So, why play that game?

Keep it professional. Keep it efficient.

Because in the end, good communication beats yelling every time.

Miranda Desa

Civil and Commercial Litigation Lawyer and Founder

Five years into my career, a mentor changed how I saw myself - and it wasn’t with advice or a lesson. It was with one simple word: "colleague."

He began introducing me to clients as his colleague, not his junior.

That simple shift made me feel valued and like I belonged.

It made me realize: leadership isn’t just about skills.

It’s about recognizing others, making them feel seen.

A kind word, a genuine compliment - these are powerful. They build trust. They turn coworkers into allies.

Because when you see someone as a colleague, not just an employee or a subordinate, it changes the entire dynamic.

It’s about respect. About shared purpose. About creating a culture where everyone feels they matter.

So next time you’re in a meeting or giving feedback, remember that one simple word.

It might just be the spark someone needs to grow, to stay motivated, to stay committed.

Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about making others feel like they belong.

And that starts with how you see them - and how you speak to them.
