Natalie Schernitzki

Natalie completed her articles with Morrison Brown Sosnovitch LLP and is a partner at the firm.   She is a litigator with over a decade of experience working with her clients to resolve disputes.

In practice, she specializes in two distinct areas of law:

Commercial Litigation, which involves advising companies on various business issues such as breach of contract, shareholder disputes, employment and franchise disputes, real estate and leasing disputes and collections; and

Estate Litigation & Planning,  which primarily involves litigating estate matters such as guardianship applications, will challenges, passings of accounts and other various estates, trusts and power of attorney issues, but also includes estate planning such as powers of attorney, wills and trusts.

Natalie has successfully represented a broad range of clients before numerous courts, boards and tribunals including the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Canada Industrial Relations Board and the Consent and Capacity Board.

As an advocate, Natalie’s key objective is to present her clients’ position in the most compelling manner possible.  To facilitate this, she first determines the client’s business or other goals.  She then prepares thoroughly, developing a theory of the case that she uses persuasively throughout the proceedings, resulting in practical and cost effective outcomes for her clients.

Natalie’s clients appreciate her dedication to ensuring that, at all times, they are fully aware of the factors impacting the success of their case and the pros and cons of the potential courses of action available to them. They value her sound advice and recommendations with respect to achieving their objectives and bringing their matter to a conclusion.

Outside of her practice, Natalie enjoys travelling, reading and the creative process of do-it-yourself home projects.

Natalie and Morrison Brown Sosnovitch efficiently and knowledgeably guided our family through the very complex and time consuming process of applying for guardianship for our mentally handicapped brother, after our father passed. It helped us ensure his best interests and care needs were maintained.

Natalie’s experience with difficult family relationships and the subsequent legal challenges and opportunities helped my sister and me through an extraordinarily trying time with an elderly parent. She was compassionate and understanding while providing the legal expertise as well as a much-needed distance and objectivity that allowed us to move toward a legal resolution.

Concern over legal and financial matters in our family led us to Natalie’s law firm, who came highly recommended.  Natalie provided excellent and thorough guidance resulting in a positive outcome.  Employing a specialist in estates law was instrumental in resolving these issues.
Bettina Kuryllowicz Hayes
My sister and I engaged Natalie Schernitzki to help resolve a seemingly unsolvable road block with regards to the settlement of the estate of our deceased brother. With choreographed precision she made all the right moves with never a missed step and put the process back on track. From this experience, we can unreservedly recommend this intelligent, knowledgeable and highly personable lawyer to anyone finding themselves in similar circumstance.

Natalie was recommended to me 5 years ago.  At that time my condition both mentally and physically was not very good due to a personal matter I was dealing with.  After explaining my situation to Natalie her compassion towards me put me at ease and gave me confidence.  Whatever I asked Natalie was totally honest and, if she did not know, she would always check.  Natalie gave me accurate advice based on complete knowledge of the facts.  Natalie was able to communicate effectively with me and had tremendous patience in allowing me to understand the law and why it’s processes are so complex.  In doing so this allowed me to make informed decisions.  My experience in dealing with her was not only professional, but an absolute pleasure.  I will continue to recommend her.
R.P.
A very serious claim was made against me that could have had serious and far-reaching consequences for me and my family. I did not feel as though the first lawyer that I hired was effective or compassionate so I asked around and it was my good fortune to be referred to Natalie by a friend. She took a situation that appeared to be dire and, through rigorous advocacy and a methodical approach, she successfully defended the claim and obtained a judgment at trial that restored my reputation and saved me from financial ruin. Natalie’s professionalism, attention to detail and integrity sets her apart. She took the time to come to our home and to get to know us and we always felt like more than just her clients. I am so grateful to have had her by my side during this very stressful and difficult time.
