OUR TEAM

Jennifer Hawn

I pride myself on giving truthful, realistic advice and strategies that cost-effectively meet your needs. Ensuring that my clients leave a meeting with me feeling empowered is paramount. 

I’m proud to serve you as an associate lawyer with Spero Law.

“I strive to be approachable, open-minded, and engaging so that my clients feel heard. I do my best to explain your legal rights and options in a manner that is easy to understand and takes away the mystery that can surround the law. ”

How I Work

I have extensive litigation experience and have acted on behalf of both Plaintiffs and Defendants in a wide range of cases. I enjoy both the courtroom aspect of litigation and the drafting work that goes into perfecting and refining a case.

I endeavour to be a problem-solver and offer solutions that will keep people out of a courtroom.

In particular, I relish drafting employment contracts and workplace policies that will offer peace of mind to my business clients.

Before I ever became a lawyer, I worked as a field-hand, a babysitter, a retail clerk, a waitress, and a receptionist. I recognize the value of people's work, no matter their occupation.

My Practice

  • I practice both employee and employer-side employment law. My practice includes wrongful dismissal, professional disciplinary matters, and workplace investigation matters. I particularly enjoy reviewing and drafting employment contracts and workplace policies.

  • In addition, I love litigating contract disputes.

  • I practice human rights law, both bringing and defending applications before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

Community

I am a member of Autism Ontario (London Chapter). As a mother of an autistic child, I steadfastly advocate for inclusiveness and diversity.

I have served as a Board Trustee for the Middlesex Law Association.

Experience

  • In addition to my experience and practice areas outlined above, my background includes working at a full-service law firm in Ottawa and two large law firms in London, where I practiced insurance defence and personal injury law.
