Emily Caza, JD
Emily is a lawyer at WEL Partners, with experience in guardianship, capacity law, and estate litigation. She earned her Juris Doctor from Queen’s University and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2025.
Before joining WEL Partners, Emily completed her articles at the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee, where she developed a deep interest in capacity and guardianship law. During this time, she gained valuable experience advocating for individuals lacking capacity, helping to protect their rights and amplify their voices in the legal system.
While at Queen’s University, Emily served as President of the Disability and Mental Health Law Club, leading initiatives and organizing panels that provided resources to support mental health, accessibility, and diversity in law school and beyond. She also worked as a student caseworker at the Queen’s Elder Law Clinic, offering free legal services to low-income seniors in Kingston. This experience gave her insight into the unique legal challenges faced by elderly clients.
Emily’s passion lies in supporting vulnerable individuals, often navigating difficult life transitions involving mental illness, aging, and the complexities of Ontario’s legal landscape. At WEL Partners, she is excited to continue exploring the intersections of disability, mental health, and estate law, and to advocate for clients with empathy, diligence, and integrity.
Before attending law school, Emily played for the Jamaica women’s national football (soccer) team an experience that fostered discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Outside of work, she still enjoys playing soccer, running, and spending time with her dog, Spartacus.
