Bio

I am the Chair of Dentons Canada's Venture Technology and Emerging Growth Companies Group, and Managing Partner of the Ottawa office. My practice focuses on representing funds and emerging companies in venture capital financings, cross-border transactions, buy-outs and mergers and acquisitions. I regularly act as principal external counsel for many of the leading venture capital investors (both private and public) in Canada and the United States in a broad range of financing transactions, including a number of the largest VC deals in Canada over the last several years. I also provide ongoing corporate and securities advice to numerous knowledge-based and other emerging companies through all stages of the growth cycle, from start-up through to larger-scale mergers, acquisitions and public financings.
