About

I am a corporate and M&A partner and advise business owners, management teams and boards through acquisitions, governance decisions and changes in ownership. My practice centres on mid-market and established companies in British Columbia. I work with buyers and sellers on share and asset transactions, guiding clients from initial negotiations and due diligence through definitive agreements and closing. I also advise on shareholder arrangements, board responsibilities and corporate reorganizations. Where relationships between owners become strained, I help clients evaluate practical options for resolving the disagreement while protecting the business and its operations. I bring a measured approach to transactions with multiple stakeholders, working closely with financial advisers and other counsel to keep commercial objectives in view. Whether a client is acquiring a competitor, selling a family business or planning its next phase of growth, I focus on clear advice, manageable risk and decisions that stand up over time.
