Capital reorganization
Multi-class redesign & tax-deferred share-for-share across ten shareholders.
These mandates — multi-party structures, multi-class equity, and tax-aware reorganizations across jurisdictions — sit alongside the principal’s senior-counsel roles on a Canadian public-company merger and government-scale infrastructure programs.
They also reflect more than a decade the principal spent as General Counsel inside major institutional groups — billion-dollar M&A, disputes, and reorganizations — experience the firm brings to its Canadian and cross-border work.
