In an ever-changing business world, Gardiner Roberts LLP enjoys a distinctive edge. With origins traced back to 1920s, Gardiner Roberts has evolved with Canada’s legal needs, providing the client-centric benefits of a full-service law firm with the dexterity of a mid-sized one. This effective combination has yielded a diversified client base that relies on us to provide in-depth, progressive advice to address complex business issues.

A focused, finely-tuned group of legal experts capitalizing on a cross-disciplinary, one-team approach, we’re committed to immersing ourselves into your business to help you capitalize on each and every opportunity.

And we listen – before providing strategic expertise in line with your short and long-term goals. The net result is a balance of wisdom, relevant experience and immediacy that, when combined with accessibility and overall cost-effectiveness, larger firms can’t touch.

Providing Canadians with over 90 years of legal expertise, Gardiner Roberts knows what works best. It’s why we prefer to remain a mid-sized, fiercely independent powerhouse, enabling us to provide you with timely, custom-tailored solutions to address your legal needs while propelling your business forward.

I am delighted to continue my practice as Counsel at Gardiner Roberts LLP. GR has exceeded my expectations in providing an exceptional team and firm culture to support the needs of my clients. GR is a full service firm with the range of services required to support my broad based corporate commercial practice.

My strength is the ability to lead a service team dedicated to helping clients plan, orchestrate and successfully implement complex transactions within time-sensitive regulated environments. I led the team that completed one of the first mergers acquisitions of two mutual fund dealers regulated by the MFDA. I led the corporate/commercial and specialty team (of 25 lawyers) advising on the design, build, finance and operation of the first public private hospital facility in Ontario. I was appointed as External Counsel to the Ontario Power Authority (as it then was) with a mandate to provide corporate/ commercial legal services, often on an expedited basis, to support the development of conservation and demand management programs. I led the Canadian legal team for one of the consortium of bidders on the development of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. I recently led a corporate/commercial and specialty team (of 20 lawyers and paralegals) acting for a group of international shareholders in the sale of a Canadian specialty manufacturing company to a United States buyer.

I am actively involved in advising foreign companies with their direct investment in and establishing and operating their businesses in Canada. I have advised direct investors from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and United States of America.

My clients are engaged in a wide range of industry sectors, including biotech, brokerage, clean tech, construction and infrastructure, data management, digital media, e-commerce, emerging technologies, energy and renewable energy, film production, financial services, food and beverage, health care, hotel management, investment and private equity funds, logistics, manufacturing, marketing and advertising, mining, outsourced product engineering services, pharmaceuticals, product manufacturing, supply and distribution; real estate development, robotics, and specialty publishing.
