"She was highly regarded by her clients, fellow members of the bar, and our firm as a whole. Jennifer will be missed by all of those who were honoured to have known her," the firm's website reads.

Vieira was the sole passenger in the Porsche which crashed at 200 Queen's Quay East near Parliament Street on Saturday, July 2nd just after 6 p.m.

The driver, a 31-year-old man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was also taken to hospital.

Toronto police told CBC News they believe high speed was a factor in the crash.

Police said witnesses told them "the driver was driving like a maniac." He reportedly lost control of the vehicle before it crashed.

A visitation for Vieira will be held Thursday, followed by a funeral Friday.
