Daniella Murynka looks at the law differently.
Substantive ammunition. Daniella has litigated the gamut of civil matters — class actions, arbitrations, corporate oppression, regulatory and administrative law proceedings, appeals, judicial misconduct matters, and constitutional issues among them — and has appeared as counsel before all levels of court in Ontario, as well as the Supreme Court of Canada. With this doctrinal arsenal, Daniella’s practice focusses on complex research and drafting tasks alongside case theory and strategy.
A developed sense of what motivates judges. Daniella served as law clerk to Justice Alan S. Diner of the Federal Court, and later to Justice John B. Laskin of the Federal Court of Appeal, and has studied and published on judicial reasoning and writing. In her practice, Daniella aims her legal thinking at both doctrinal precision and persuasive impact. She has a Master’s Certificate in Legal Writing from the Academy of American Legal Writers and a Master’s in Law from Harvard Law School. For the past six years, she has also taught legal research and writing as an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, her alma mater.
The quote above — “Be prepared. Be brief. Be gone.” — is a gold-standard advocacy mantra attributed to former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Willard Zebedee Estey.
On-the-pulse advice. Daniella maintains a knowledge management component to her practice, through which she tracks and analyzes those substantive, procedural, and technological developments most affecting litigation in Ontario in real time.
