Portrait de Molly Luu

( Disponible en anglais seulement )

Aperçu

Molly Luu is an advocate whose practice focuses on tax litigation. Before joining Miller Thomson LLP, Molly completed her articles at a national law firm in Toronto. After which, she spent a year as a judicial law clerk for the Superior Court of Justice. She then joined a business law boutique where she practised civil and tax litigation as an associate and later as a partner.

Molly is a problem solver. Drawing from her experience as investigative tax counsel who was routinely retained to review unintended tax consequences, she quickly identifies what lies at the heart of a problem.  This enables her to act swiftly and efficiently to address the issue. She is mindful of the fact that less-obvious creative solutions are often the best ones.
