WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER

At Beyond Law, we believe that the best path to success in litigation is along a road travelled together. That’s why we promise to not only provide great service, but to stand by your side every step of the way.

WHY BEYOND LAW

Litigation is personal. The service you receive should be no different. At Beyond Law we aim to deliver an experience where the process is tended to with the same level of care as getting you a great result.

Our firm is built on the following core values:

RESPECT

Your case is important to you. We firmly believe that if we aren’t respecting your case, we aren’t respecting you. We promise to devote the time, energy, and attention that both you and your case deserve.

TRUST

The foundation of a successful lawyer-client relationship is trust. We aim to build trust through honesty, decency, and keeping our word – not through commercials, billboards, or catchy jingles.

ACCESSIBILITY

Many law firms take a team approach to their files, which really just means you will speak with someone other than your lawyer. We refuse to practice this way. The lawyer you hire is the lawyer you’ll get, from start to finish.

TRANSPARENCY

Litigation can be full of surprises. Your lawyer shouldn’t. Our approach is fully transparent – from how we operate, to how we manage your file, to how we charge you. Now isn’t that a pleasant surprise?

EMPOWERMENT

Knowledge is power. We’ll help you get there by making things understandable and accessible. You’ll be able to ask tough questions, be confident in your decisions, and feel a sense of control as we put you in the driver’s seat.

As our client we promise you that we will honour these values in our delivery of services. If at any time you feel we are falling short then please let us know.

WHO WE ARE

Kate Mazzucco

E-mail: kate@beyond.law

Before becoming a lawyer, Kate witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of a personal injury incident when someone very close to her was seriously injured in a car accident. The toll it took on Kate and her family was enormous, but it also provided Kate with insight into the importance of having skilled, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate legal counsel. She gained an appreciation for the significant role a lawyer can play, not only in obtaining fair compensation for their clients, but in assisting their clients in their recovery.

Kate obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto and her law degree from the University of Western Ontario. She was called to the Ontario Bar in 2007. Before founding Beyond Law, Kate was a partner at one of Canada’s top ranked personal injury law firms where she worked on complex, multi-party, and multi-million dollar claims.

Kate is known for her detail oriented, thorough, and strategic approach to representing her clients. She has trial experience in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and Ontario Court of Justice and has conducted hearings before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the Licence Appeal Tribunal, and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal. Kate’s careful approach and broad experience ensures that her clients truly have a choice between settlement and trial.

Kate has appeared in Law Times, a provincial newspaper servicing the legal community, and The Lawyers Weekly, a national legal newspaper. As a repeat guest on the radio show “What She Said” and a guest on the Disability Channel, Kate has addressed issues relating to personal injury law and insurance. Kate has authored papers and has been invited to present for various organizations including the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Ontario Bar Association, the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Kate has also participated as a panelist in the Law Society of Upper Canada’s Justicia Project programs, initiatives designed to support the retention and advancement of women lawyers in private practice. Recently, Kate was involved in the development of the civil litigation curriculum for Ryerson University’s Law Practice Program.

A firm believer in giving back, Kate has worked with several organizations close to her heart. From helping the Kids at Play organization bring the “Slow Down Kids at Play” campaign to Toronto’s east end communities, to sitting as the committee chair for the Brain Injury Society of Toronto’s annual Run, Walk and Roll, Kate is dedicated to supporting the community. She is also a past vice-chair of the New Lawyers Division of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association.

HOW WE GET PAID

We operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not get paid until and unless we are successful in obtaining compensation for you. Our fee model is designed to alleviate the financial hardship and stress experienced by our clients, many of whom are unable to work due to illness or injury. We believe that access to justice should not be determined by a person’s financial circumstances, or their ability to pay, but the merits of their case.
