I am a partner in McMillan’s Capital Markets and M&A group. I have broad experience in capital markets and securities law with extensive expertise in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions. I am frequently recognized for my deep industry knowledge in the following sectors: cannabis, mining, technology, novel industries and contested transactions. I am the co-founder of McMillan’s highly regarded Cannabis Industry Group, I have a full understanding of legislation affecting the Canadian cannabis market. I provide licensed producers, technology providers and retailers a complete range of legal services relating to licensing, transactions and corporate compliance. As a securities and corporate finance lawyer, I advise private and public clients on a range of transactions. My experience encompasses venture capital financings, initial public offerings, private placements, and public equity and debt financings, along with corporate governance and securities regulatory matters. My mining practice includes advising clients with respect to property options, joint ventures, earn-in and farm-out agreements, royalties, strategic alliances, asset purchase and sale transactions, surface right matters and technical disclosure. Earlier in my career, I served as a foreign associate on secondment at Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP in New York, gaining valuable insight into the US capital markets.
