Monique Morin
Partner
About
Monique is a seasoned civil litigator with experience across a broad range of complex matters, with significant focus on estate litigation and complex commercial disputes.
She regularly acts for clients facing contested wills, questions concerning testamentary capacity and undue influence, applications relating to the appointment or removal of personal representatives, and disputes arising from estate administration and distributions. These matters frequently involve complicated evidentiary records and significant financial considerations, and she manages these complexities with strong technical proficiency and clear, direct communication with her clients about their best path forward.
Monique also acts in contested commercial matters, including shareholder oppression claims, fraud and misrepresentation, contractual disputes, and regulatory compliance issues. She is skilled in addressing matters of financial impropriety, sophisticated concealment of assets, and corporate governance, while maintaining a keen focus on meaningful and efficient dispute resolution. She regularly works with clients and corporate solicitors to assess risk and develop practical strategies to assist clients in avoiding litigation before it starts.
She has appeared before all levels of court in Alberta, including the Court of Appeal, the Court of King’s Bench, and the Alberta Court of Justice.

Beyond her practice, Kerry contributes to access to justice through the Court of King’s Bench Amicus Program and mentors law students and junior lawyers through formal mentorship initiatives.
