Full Name
Andrea Sanche
Speaker Bio
Andrea Sanche is a commercial litigator and Co-Managing Partner of Ricketts Harris LLP. Andrea is most frequently engaged by private and family businesses on complex contractual and commercial disputes, employment law matters, and fraud cases. Her considerable experience with interlocutory motions, including jurisdiction motions and obtaining and resisting Mareva and Norwich orders, makes her a valuable ally.
Although she is a tough and resolute advocate, Andrea’s peers most often remark that she is eminently reasonable, fair-minded, and in possession of a wicked sense of humour. At heart, she is an academically minded legal optimist, who is passionate about redressing injustice of all kinds. She is also intensely involved with various lawyers’ associations (most recently as a member of the Advocates’ Society’s 10+ Committee and TAS’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee) and is a dedicated community volunteer (most recently serving as Treasurer of Planned Parenthood Toronto).
A reformed Winnipegger, Andrea never takes herself too seriously, and is predictably skilled at pushing cars out of ditches, jump-starting car batteries, and identifying the difference between a jambuster and a goldeye. Andrea obtained her B.A. (Advanced) from the University of Manitoba, her J.D. from the University of Toronto, and her LL.M. (Honours) from McGill University.
Andrea is ranked one of The Best Lawyers in Canada™ – Corporate and Commercial Litigation, and is a regular speaker and panelist, having been quoted in the Financial Post, Law Times, and MoneySense. She frequently speaks on issues relating to women and the law, employment law, breach of contract, shareholders’ rights and remedies, and legal procedure and strategy.
