The focus of Kris’ practice at Cavanagh LLP is professional liability and insurance law. He spends the better part of his day working with (and sometimes against) insurance companies. His insurance practice is a wide ambit of professional liability, property and casualty files. Kris has also helped people who have been hurt in motor vehicle accidents, assaults, drug overdoses and slip and falls. In a life that has included stints as a psych-undergrad, disc jockey, foreign ESL teacher in Korea, restaurant server, and software peddler, Kris’ background is ‘quilted’. Kris is addicted to talk radio—a long-time-listener-first-time-caller. He runs in traffic and marathons. His main pastime is playing with pots and pans and practicing parkour in the kitchen with daughter, Franky, and son Fox.
RSJ Calum MacLeod was born in Glasgow, Scotland and raised in Sudbury, Ontario. He attended Queen’s University, where he obtained his B.A. and LL.B. (Law ’80) and was called to the bar in 1983 after articling with the Office of the Ombudsman. After 16 years of practicing as a lawyer, mediator and arbitrator, he was appointed as a Case Management Master in 1988, serving in that role first in Toronto and then in Ottawa. He was appointed a judge in July of 2016 and Regional Senior Justice for the East Region in March of 2020. RSJ MacLeod has authored many important decisions relating to civil procedure, ADR and summary judgment. During his career, he has been involved in various court reform and legal education initiatives including regular consultation with judges and courts in other jurisdictions. Justice Macleod is a regular contributor to “Trembello” and other legal education conferences.
