She has worked in-house with strategic litigation teams, and with top Toronto court reporting companies and Official Examiners’ offices, also having worked with Kimberly Alexander for years in career law and litigation, before the inception of KBA Partners LLP itself.

In 2014 Monica provided real-time support in the technologically and judicially groundbreaking international Nortel Bankruptcy Trial, which was simultaneously adjudicated in the Canadian and American legal systems.
