I grew up as a lawyer on Bay Street and became a Partner at one of Canada's preeminent law firms, McCarthy Tétrault LLP, and have practiced in Toronto and Calgary. While I am now utilizing a different model for service delivery, my prior experiences guide me and my professional approach. I practice in association with a leading alternative legal service provider, Caravel Law LLP, and can call on over 100 lawyers in other practice areas in order to deliver a coordinated level of service to a broad spectrum of client legal needs.
I have embraced technology in every aspect of my practice to make it efficient, analytical and cost effective, while at the same time not overwhelming clients with unfamiliar apps or software. The tools I utilize, from precedent systems to the use of artificial intelligence, are industry leading, and few firms or lawyers can match the sophistication of the technology that I have at my disposal. Clients find this approach refreshing, responsive and effective.
Hiring a lawyer is an important step in helping an enterprise achieve its goals. It has also become expensive. For the most dynamic part of the economy, the venture community and a large segment of medium size businesses, finding leading counsel at a good price point is difficult. By embracing technology and maintaining the high standards of professionalism that have been a hallmark of my career, I can deliver superior levels of service at a fraction of the cost of traditional firms.
