With nearly 15 years as in-house counsel at two of Canada’s largest publicly-traded companies, I bring a practical, commercial perspective to every client matter.

I advise high net worth individuals, regulated health professionals, and family businesses on corporate and tax restructurings, financing and security arrangements with lenders, and buy-sell transactions, as well as the full range of matters across a business’s lifecycle: incorporation, growth, acquisitions, commercial real estate, commercial leasing, succession planning, and transition to retirement.

I have developed particular depth advising regulated health professionals, with a strong understanding of the regulatory frameworks governing their practices. This includes structuring and transactional work for professional corporations, with a focus on healthcare and clinic-based businesses.

I also advise both landlords and tenants on all aspects of commercial leasing, including negotiation, drafting, renewals, and landlord-tenant matters. I have particular expertise advising healthcare and clinic-based businesses, where leasing decisions are closely tied to regulatory requirements, financing structures, and long-term business value.
