2020

Facilitating meetings online using various remote video-conference technologies and digital e-signature applications. Conscientious of the 2020 pandemic restrictions and best practices for the safety and security of all participants.

I have significant experience in prosecuting, defending, and mediating complex multi-party disputes across diverse practice areas.

I also have significant training in personality and group dynamics - facilitation.

I am a Partner at leading regional law firm with offices in downtown Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

I have practiced law as a trial lawyer for over a decade in British Columbia. The majority of that work was in the field of personal injury, wills and estates, insurance, disability, commercial disputes, shareholder disputes, general civil litigation and employment law.

I obtained my Qualified Mediator designation and serve on the Board of Directors of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada. I believe that an interest-based facilitated discussion by a skilled Mediator provides an efficient means to resolve disputes.

I also have significant experience in corporate governance in the not-for-profit sector through my work as a director and board chair for a number of organizations.

As well, I am at ease with diverse cultures from my personal experience and extensive travels around the world.

Aside from work, I am significantly involved in community organizations and get personal satisfaction from giving back to those that do not necessarily have voices of their own. I am also busy with my wife of over 15 years and raising two young children.
