Anna Welch

Anna is an Associate in the Restructuring & Insolvency group at Blakes, one of Canada's leading restructuring practices. Anna brings a thoughtful, proactive approach to her own broad practice. Before joining Blakes, she spent over a decade in digital marketing, working in both the U.S. and Canada.

Anna's ability to bridge legal, technical and strategic perspectives makes her a valued team member in high stakes restructuring matters in and out of court.
