McMillan LLP

• Retired Partner

  • Feb 1980 - Dec 2017

  At McMillan my practise focused on private transactions (purchases, sales, financings and restructurings), acting for major US corporations and for Canadian entrepreneurs. In addition, I provided general business and commercial law advice on a wide variety of issues. Over the last half of my career, I assisted a number of clients involved in family or partner shareholder disputes. I was primarily involved in resolving the dispute through a sale or revised share ownership structure, but also oversaw court proceedings. More proactively, I provided advice to partners, families, directors and trustees on how to deal with shareholder and business succession issues and to avoid conflict. I gained international experience through working in Hong Kong for two years and through handling international transactions.
