Nick acquired excellent training and worked closely from the outset of his career with Max Mendelsohn and more generally in a leading national restructuring law practice group, with McMillan LLP.
In addition to acting on some of Canada’s largest restructuring proceedings and corporate litigation cases of the last decade for the most prominent parties involved, Nick also acquired ample experience with more modest-sized matters – where his professional expertise, coupled with a keen sense of practicality, deal-making and efficiency – allowed Nick’s clients to reach the most optimal of results.
