​
I'm a leading blockchain lawyer and general counsel for WonderFi Technologies Inc. (Bitbuy & Coinsquare crypto exchanges). I recently guided the executive team through its acquisition of Coinsquare and CoinSmart.
I was formerly ChainSafe System's Legal Counsel and Corporate Development Lead. I led the executive team through the company's USD$18.75M Series A financing and international expansion efforts into the US, Germany (ChainSafe GmbH) and Croatia (Node Factory acquisition).
​
Prior to joining ChainSafe, I briefly ran my own legal practice and worked at a boutique corporate / securities law firm where I advised businesses ranging from first-time entrepreneurs to international blockchain and cryptocurrency businesses.
​
In addition to my experience practising law, I previously worked at a venture capital fund and conducted research for a Canadian payment law & cryptocurrency thought leader. More recently, I instructed over two semeters the “Laws and Regulations” course as part of George Brown’s Blockchain Development Program.
​
Out of the office, you can find me on the tennis courts, running, or playing some favourites on my Fender Jazzmaster.
