My legal practice is also a democratic practice.
I work with my clients to change the rules in their lives and to reimagine their relationship with those rules. Our institutions can always be made more flexible, creative, and responsive to a wider range of concerns.
We collaborate with my colleagues at Ratcliff LLP to move the boundaries of administrative, aboriginal, environmental, and constitutional law. We use complex regulatory regimes and dynamic political conditions to our advantage. When appropriate, we negotiate. When necessary, we litigate.
I work primarily with indigenous governments and their businesses, as well as with organizations and groups that serve children, the environment, and future generations.
We write the laws, develop the policies, make the agreements, and build the institutions required to achieve their goals.
I am qualified to practice in New York and British Columbia. I have received law degrees from Columbia Law School and the University of Toronto, as well as a doctorate in law from the University of Toronto.
