I am an experienced advocate and litigator. My practice includes civil, commercial, and regulatory litigation. I support all my clients with strong oral and written advocacy skills I have developed prosecuting and defending hundreds of actions. As a result of my diversified legal experience, I take on multifaceted cases where a client may face a threat to their business, livelihood or reputation on more than one front.
Following my call to the bar I practiced at a litigation boutique in downtown Toronto where I handled complex civil and regulatory cases and gained valuable trial experience. Early in my career I enjoyed success in high profile cases and these accomplishments led me to create my own firm with other prominent lawyers.
I have appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Justice, the Ontario Divisional Court, Federal Court, Commercial List and various administrative tribunals. I have also acted as independent counsel to regulators in Ontario and as counsel in numerous private and confidential commercial arbitrations.
My client base is drawn from a select group of professionals, entrepreneurs, trades people, and business owners. I am a strategic thinker and I leverage my educational and professional background to solve legal problems and create solutions for clients. Importantly, I am not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to novel cases and always consider a wide range of options.
I recognize that a combination of strong written and oral advocacy is the key to winning cases both inside and outside the courtroom. I also believe that a combination of the right legal team is essential to success in litigation. As such, I have surrounded myself with lawyers and staff who are respected in their field.
Prior to coming to the law, I spent several years studying internationally before returning to Canada. When I am not in the office or spending time with my family, I do as much world traveling as possible, skateboard, ski and surf.
