Paul Muirhead
Paul was called to the Ontario Bar in 1989. He practiced with the same Ottawa boutique litigation firm following his call to the Bar until 2017. In his years of practice he had extensive trial experience, both jury and non-jury, and has conducted appeals, at the Court of Appeal and Divisional Court. His Superior Court of Justice trial and appeal appearances number over 50.
Paul’s ability to effectively communicate difficult points is one of his principal attributes. This is reflected in his trial and appeal experience as well as his teaching experience. He has lectured at Algonquin College (employment law), the University of Ottawa Law School (trial advocacy, litigation issues in real estate), the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (various issues in medical ethics and medical/legal matters) and he was a session lecturer at the University of Ottawa School of Management in their Hospital Administration course where he taught the medical ethics block. Paul also was an instructor in civil litigation for the Law Society of Upper Canada’s former Bar Admission’s course.
Outside of the traditional practice of law
Paul has written and lectured on medical ethics both locally and at national conferences. He also has been on the Board of Directors for the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Society of Ontario and Canada.
