Gluckstein Lawyers is pleased to welcome Cynthia Rizzo to our Medical Malpractice Team as an Associate.

Cynthia joined Gluckstein Lawyers as an articling student in 2025 and was called to the Ontario Bar in June 2026. Throughout her articles, she gained experience in all aspects of plaintiff-side litigation, with a particular focus on medical negligence matters.

As an Associate, her practice centres on medical negligence and complex personal injury litigation, where she represents individuals and families whose lives have been profoundly affected by malpractice, catastrophic injury, and other acts of negligence, guiding clients through every stage of the litigation process with compassion, diligence, and a commitment to achieving meaningful results.

Prior to attending law school, Cynthia spent several years working in the personal injury field and was licensed as a private investigator in Ontario. This experience provided her with a strong foundation in evidence gathering, witness interviewing, liability investigations, and client advocacy, which continues to inform her approach to litigation. She earned her Juris Doctor from Queen’s University Faculty of Law, where she participated in the Queen’s Prison Law Clinic, advocating on behalf of incarcerated individuals in correctional institutions across Kingston, Ontario. She went on to complete an international exchange at Leiden University in the Netherlands, where her studies emphasized oral advocacy, litigation, and international dispute resolution.

Cynthia is committed to providing thoughtful, client-centred representation and is passionate about helping individuals and families navigate the legal system following life-altering injuries.
