“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”
Kelvin Rampersad,

As the director of boutique law firm Fletcher Clarendon, Ann-Maree Ventura helps lead a team of general commercial lawyers acting for clients in the medical and dental industry. Her expertise spans multiple practice areas ranging from restructures to complex advisory work and assisting clients with establishing themselves in the not-for-profit sector. In addition, one of her significant credentials is her underlying skillset as a specialist tax lawyer, for which she is highly regarded in the industry.
Ann-Maree is known for her client dedication and commitment to ensuring that clients are guided through complex legal and regulatory developments. This was demonstrated recently by her team, who, in response to a ground-breaking regulatory development in the SRO’s approach to payroll tax, invited over 200 clients to have a complementary one-on-one meeting to discuss the impact on them directly and determine a tailored way forward to ensuring ongoing compliance.
As a leader, Ann-Maree wants the best for her team and has as her guiding principle the notion that there is always a solution for any problem. She thoroughly enjoys her role as peer, mentor and friend and seeing lawyers gain confidence and autonomy under her guidance is a great source of joy. She has undertaken a number of charitable and pro bono matters throughout her extensive career and enjoys actively participating in charitable causes that she feels passionate about both in and outside of work.
At home, Ann-Maree loves spending time with her family, and her key to work-life balance is to be present and truly in every moment, wherever that may be.
