About

I am a commercial litigation partner and advise businesses on contract disputes and urgent court applications, with a focus on resolving problems before they consume the business. I work with startups and small and medium-sized companies in Alberta and British Columbia. My practice includes disagreements with suppliers, customers and commercial partners, as well as situations where an injunction may be needed to protect a business while a dispute is being resolved. I start by identifying the client’s commercial objective and the evidence supporting its position. I advise on negotiation, settlement and litigation, weighing the cost and disruption of each route alongside the potential legal outcome. When court proceedings are necessary, I develop a focused strategy and keep clients informed about the next decision and its implications. Outside the courtroom, I work toward practical resolutions that let clients return their attention to running the business, whether that means preserving a relationship or bringing a difficult one to an orderly end.
