About Louisa Bianchin
Louisa is looking forward to joining Easton Law as a junior criminal defence lawyer. She was called to the Bar in March 2024. Louisa earned her J.D. from Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). In addition, she earned her Master of Education degree from the University of Toronto, her Bachelor of Education degree from Nipissing University and two Bachelor of Arts degrees from Laurentian University. Louisa considers herself a lifelong learner and is devoted to continuing her legal studies and staying up to date with the latest changes in criminal law.
After a life-changing event, Louisa contemplated a career change from elementary school principal to lawyer. She decided that she wanted to go to law school to learn how to protect the rights of individuals in need of protection.
Louisa’s initial fascination with criminal law originated from watching crime television shows, movies and the news. After her experience at Mississauga Community Legal Services and Neighbourhood Legal Services in Toronto, Louisa knew that she wanted to pursue a career in criminal defence and provide criminal duty counsel services.
When not practising law, Louisa likes to spend time with family and friends. She is happiest when she is boating with her family, enjoying the views on the water. Her preferred way to keep physically fit is dancing; tango and salsa are her favourites. Louisa loves her Shelties and spending time with them, whether it is going out for a walk or just sitting on the sofa watching a movie.
