Andrew leverages his background in corporate law, securities, and taxation to provide sound advice and support, while his entrepreneurial spirit and experience as a former business owner allow him to understand his client's needs and provide tailored solutions.

Most recently, Andrew was a partner in the capital markets, securities, mergers and acquisitions practice as well as the U.S. capital markets practice of one of Western Canada's leading law firms.
