Overview

Tom was born and raised in Toronto, and obtained his law degree in 1989 from the University of Toronto and was called to the bar of Ontario in 1991.

Tom enjoys a broadly-based litigation practice, before all levels of courts in Ontario, as well as the Superior Court of Quebec, the Court of Appeal of Quebec, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada and the Supreme Court of Canada. Tom also represents his clients in mediations, arbitrations and before a wide range of administrative tribunals and at professional disciplinary hearings. His practice includes matters of commercial litigation, administrative law, bankruptcy and insolvency, estate litigation, tax litigation and employment litigation.

Tom believes that the same "no-nonsense" approach he brings to the practice of law should also apply to lawyers’ biographies. However, after being shown a number of ways to make his biography "better", he has conceded to adding a few additional words for search engine optimization: lawyer, solicitor, trial lawyer, civil litigation lawyer.
