Sarah Makson joins the Dolden office in 2026. Sarah offers a unique perspective to her law practice from her experience in both law and insurance.

Sarah was a licensed commercial insurance broker in Ontario and Alberta before attending law school.

She also earned the Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) designation through the Insurance Institute of Canada.

She has developed a deep understanding of construction matters and professional liability in her practice.
