I am a business lawyer practising in Markham, Ontario. In all cases, I aim to provide personalized, practical, down-to-earth friendly and efficient service.
Since 1985, (in addition to my general corporate-commercial practice) I have chosen to focus my practice by providing extensive and specialized commercial assistance to brokers, producers and insurance companies in the Property and Casualty Insurance industry. As a result, I am proud to say that I am recognized as the prominent provider of such services to the industry.
As an owner-operator, I am sensitive to the needs of business owners including brokers. I am also keenly aware of the constantly shifting dynamics affecting the P & C industry.
I have written many industry-specific articles and have been involved in and produced numerous seminars qualifying for RIBO accreditation (management).
Early Training
I obtained my Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) from the University of Western Ontario Law School in 1979 and 1976, respectively. I received my initial training from a downtown law firm - I articled with Borden & Elliot from 1979-1980 (now known as Borden Ladner Gervais LLP) and worked in that firm as an associate after my call to the Bar in 1981.
