Some of Our People

Sarah Naughton, Associate

Cunningham Swan has not only offered me guidance for the development of my proficiencies as a litigator but has also provided me with thoughtful mentorship and support for the development of my litigation practice. Kingston is a wonderfully unique City and a beautiful place to live, and the firm is devoted to growing not only an understanding of the law, but also of the community and industries of the clients we serve. The firm’s interest and investment in my growth as a lawyer in the Kingston community has been integral to my professional development and success, and I am privileged to have been welcomed with open arms to the Cunningham Swan team.
