“Daryna is an effective and clear-headed organizer, and a pleasure to work with. One of the things that struck me about working with Daryna, is her willingness to go above and beyond despite any challenge or project she is confronted with. She is precise, fair, and efficient. Further, she exudes a rare ability to motivate her team, and retain focus on organizational goals, through stressful and dynamic situations. She is capable, and competent, would be an assent in any number of capacities, and I am hopeful to have the chance to work with her again in the future. ”
About
I am a business law associate at McCarthy Tétrault LLP with a practice focused on structured finance and capital markets matters. I have worked on number of domestic and cross-border securitizations in a variety of asset classes, global debt issuances, covered bond programmes and novel financial instruments, including limited recourse capital note issuances.
I graduated the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, where I sat on the Moot Court Committee, acted as an advisor for the Faculty Academic Success program, and won the Davies Corporate/Securities moot. In 2017, I attained an Honours B.A. with high distinction at the University of Toronto with a double major in international relations and history.
