Karen Morimoto, BA, JD
Barrister, Solicitor & Notary Public
Professional Profile
​
Karen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Politics, from Queen's University and a Law Clerk diploma from Fleming College. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Karen worked as a law clerk in Toronto gaining experience both on Bay Street and in international arbitration at the World Bank. She obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Osgoode Hall in 2010. While at Osgoode, Karen received specialized training in dispute mediation and served as executive assistant to the Osgoode Innocence Project. Karen was called to the Bar in 2011; she currently practices corporate law, wills & estates, estate litigation, and real estate law.
​
Extracurriculars
​
Karen founded Mulberry Law, bringing together a collective of skilled legal professionals with diverse experiences and wide-ranging personalities. Karen lacks real hobbies, owing to her office-centric inclinations (she does occasionally take out her technology related frustrations on unsuspecting garden weeds). While Karen, in her professional life, is excessively friendly and talks more than any other living human, in her personal life, she avoids all activities that require her to leave her house, opting to hibernate with her equally reclusive husband and daughter. Karen dreams of winning the lottery to spend her days lounging and drinking beer (specifically IPAs) with tiny cocktail umbrellas and a side of Skittles (which she insists go well together). But probably still at home.
Nikki Lewis, BA Hons, JD
Barrister, Solicitor & Notary Public
Professional Profile
​
Nikki attended Carleton University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology. She then attended the University of Ottawa, where she obtained her Juris Doctor degree. Nikki began her legal career in Ottawa with her practice focusing on criminal law and child protection matters. After returning to her Burlington roots, Nikki began working with Karen and now practices primarily in real estate and wills & estates law.​
​
Extracurriculars
​
Always outfitted head to toe in black, Nikki describes her style as boardroom gothic chic. She lives with her three pet rats, who she insists are very cuddly. Like Karen, Nikki also lacks hobbies. Occasionally, Mulberry Law will act on real estate matters with rodent issues or other pest-control concerns. Despite being a consummate professional, we know Nikki is secretly rooting for the rodents.
Sumit Tangri, BA Hons, JD
Barrister, Solicitor & Notary Public
Professional Profile
​
Sumit holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Political Science and Government, from York University. Sumit’s sense of adventure then took him to Michigan where he earned his Juris Doctor and spent time exploring the American Midwest. Upon earning his law degree, Sumit returned to Canada where he articled with a boutique litigation firm in Toronto. Called to the Ontario bar in 2013, Sumit founded his own firm in 2017 and has extensive experience before the courts, including the Ontario Court of Appeal. His current practice focuses on civil and commercial litigation, including construction liens and mortgage disputes. Sumit also maintains an active practice advising clients with respect to corporate, real estate, and estate planning matters.
Extracurriculars
While he maintains his current office space in downtown Hamilton, Mulberry Law lured Sumit in with promises of organization and a strong support team. When he’s not living the dream and drafting submissions for court, Sumit enjoys travelling to exotic locations, playing football (defensive end), and losing arguments to his young daughter.
Our Support Team
Jeanine Garlow
Office Manger
Staff Profile​
​
Jeanine holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from McMaster University and a Human Resources Post Graduate Diploma from Humber College. Jeanine's primary hobby is worrying. She hates taking days off, despite Karen insisting she do so. Although still well below retirement age, Jeanine enjoys being a mother hen and playing with Excel spreadsheets and needles (crochet, to be specific).
​​
Janice Otterstein
Law Clerk
Staff Profile​
​
With close to twenty years of experience as an estates, corporate, and estate litigation clerk, Janice joined Mulberry Law to do anything but real estate (seriously – she has nightmares about it). Janice is an avid traveler and tequila aficionado with zero ability to say no to her grandchildren. Over the past decade, Karen has become utterly dependent on Janice for everything and makes regular threats about Janice's inability to retire or leave Mulberry Law before she does. The witness protection program is already aware and on standby.​​
Linda De Canhas
Law Clerk
Staff Profile​
​
Linda has been working as a real estate law clerk for over forty years. She drinks several litres of coffee a day but is still always tired, likely because she has the dietary habits of a kid at a birthday party (her husband makes her lunches and cuts the crusts off her sandwiches). Linda loves Christmas with a gleeful passion but also relates strongly to the Grinch for non-holiday matters.​​
Lisa Campbell
Law Clerk
Staff Profile​
​
Lisa has over thirty years' experience as a real estate law clerk. While being arguably the most laid-back member of the Mulberry staff, Lisa's face has absolutely no ability to hide what she's thinking – which is one of the reasons she works remotely. Lisa loves traveling and spoiling her grandsons; she reluctantly goes for power walks on her lunch break because she really likes potato chips.
Sarah Camm
Conveyancer
Profile​
​
Now a freelance conveyancer, Sarah received her Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies and her Masters of Library and Information Sciences from the University of Western Ontario. Known as the firm's title search guru, Sarah is brought in as the "big guns" when complex title issues arise. Sarah works remotely in the middle of nowhere and enjoys reading, knitting, embroidery, and is everyone's favourite dance mom.
Kevin Morimoto
Intake Clerk
Staff Profile​
​
Kevin attended Carleton University and completed his Bachelor of Arts studies in computer science. Possibly the most introverted member of Team Mulberry, Kevin's social life consists mainly of entertaining his niece (his real boss) and sending emoji responses to his co-workers. Kevin is Karen's younger brother and is consequently chronically underpaid.
Basher Garlow
Junior Office Manager
Staff Profile​
​
Basher is a Shih Tzu who, despite his poor manners, has won employee of the month since his adoption – very friendly, no chill.
