I spent many years inside the national big law firm world — as a Partner running M&A transactions, building deal teams and closing transactions. I know exactly how those deals get staffed, prioritized, managed and billed. Then I left. Solo practice. Buyer-side only. The experience didn't change. The attention did. I provide legal advice to Canadians and Americans acquiring small and mid-sized businesses in Canada — from due diligence through to close. Every deal is handled by me personally. No junior lawyers. No handoffs. No drop in prioritization for a more lucrative file. If you're buying a business in Canada, you're getting 18+ years of senior M&A experience on your deal — start to finish.
