About

I am a commercial disputes lawyer and help founders and business owners navigate shareholder and contract disagreements, starting with the commercial result the client wants to achieve. I advise startups and small and medium-sized businesses in British Columbia and Alberta. My work includes assessing competing claims, reviewing agreements and correspondence, and helping clients understand the strengths, risks and practical consequences of their position. I assist with early assessments, demand letters and settlement negotiations. In shareholder disputes, I work through the ownership arrangements and business relationships at issue, considering whether a negotiated buyout or another resolution can address the problem without unnecessary disruption. My approach is deliberate and pragmatic. I explain the available paths, identify the evidence needed for the next step and keep cost and timing visible throughout the matter. I focus on giving clients a strategy they can act on, whether the priority is preserving the business relationship or finding a workable way to separate.
