I recently retired from my role as a senior partner in one of Canada’s leading business law firms where I specialized in project and infrastructure procurement, structuring, financing and delivery. Prior to law I was a graduate Civil Engineer and worked as a project engineer at a leading vertically integrated oil company.

I was the leader of Bennett Jones’ public infrastructure projects practice. My legal practice focused on construction law, project delivery and project finance across Canada. I participated in a wide variety of Public-Private Partnership (P3) transactions in various sectors since the advent of the P3 models in Canada, leading the legal advisory teams for the project proponents, contractors, lenders, underwriters, service providers and owners, bringing my background in project management, EPC, design-build and traditional construction procurement together with more than 35 years of experience in project finance. I have been recognized internationally in infrastructure by Chambers Global: The World's Leading Lawyers for Business for Projects: PPP Infrastructure, as a leading lawyer in project finance by Legal Media Group's Guide to the world's leading Project Finance Lawyers and  IFLR1000: The Guide to The World's Leading Financial Law Firms and as an Acritas Star for 2021. In 2018 I received the Client’s Choice award for Construction Law.

I have acted for clients in power, mining, forestry, oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare and transportation.

I have also acted on behalf of architects, engineers and other professional advisors and has provided strategic advice on the creation and structuring of project ownership, management and control arrangements.

I have acted on behalf of clients in a variety of alternative dispute resolution processes arising out of project delivery and construction contracts
