Marian Black is a civil litigator practicing in medical malpractice, personal injury, and disability law, with additional experience in matters involving wrongful convictions and civil sexual assault claims. She is known for her disciplined advocacy, strategic case development, and ability to navigate complex, high-stakes litigation. 

Raised in County Donegal, Ireland, Marian demonstrated early determination in pursuing a legal career. She went on to complete three degrees, including a Master’s in International Economic Law, before relocating to Canada in 2014 with her two children. She began her legal career in criminal defence, articling with Evans Fagan Rice McKay, where she developed strong courtroom skills alongside leading defence counsel. She later transitioned into civil litigation, where, working closely alongside Greg Rodin, K.C., she advanced a practice dedicated to advocating for individuals who have suffered serious harm through no fault of their own. 

Marian’s medical malpractice work is focused on accountability and advancing standards of care. She also maintains a robust personal injury and disability practice, representing clients through
both negotiated resolutions and trial. Notably, Marian acted as Plaintiff counsel in Warner v. Calgary Regional Health Authority (Rockyview General Hospital), 2020 ABQB 172, a leading Alberta decision shaping the legal framework for hospital liability and standards of care. 

Marian is a member of the Calgary Bar Association, Canadian Bar Association, Alberta Civil Trial Lawyers Association, and Association of Women Lawyers.
