Professional Biography

Philip has been a practising lawyer since 2005, providing expertise, advice, and legal services clients can trust in a cost-effective manner for over 19 years of practice.

Philip’s practice has concentrated on:

  • Commercial Matters – Contract preparation and negotiation, commercial transactions, business purchases and sales;
  • Corporate Matters – Corporate purchases and sales, unanimous shareholders’ agreements, corporate restructuring, and corporate reorganizations [key employees and succession planning];
  • Real Estate Matters – Residential, commercial, and construction contracts and transactions;
  • Wills and Estate Planning Matters – Wills, enduring power of attorney, etc.;
  • Probate and Estate Administration Matters;
  • Employment Law Matters;
  • Civil Litigation in his areas of practice.

Philip has a diverse clientele with an expansive range of legal transactions, documentation, issues, and disputes. In part, due to the breadth of his practice, he is fortunate to have had the time and opportunity to forge long-lasting relationships with many of his clients.

Philip has also seen the laws and practice of law evolve, and he continues to strive to provide expertise, advice, and service his clients can trust that is cost-effective. This challenge has also helped to make the practice of law engaging and enjoyable throughout his 17 years of practice.

When Philip is not at work, he likes to spend time with his friends and family enjoying the fun and variety of activities that Edmonton has to offer.

Practice Areas

Education

  • University of Alberta – LL.B. [Bachelor of Laws] – 2004

From time to time, we get asked why Philip has an LL.B. [Bachelor of Laws] and not a J.D. [Juris Doctorate]. In Canada, the LL.B. and J.D. are equivalent, and when Philip graduated in 2004, the University of Alberta Faculty of Law granted the LL.B. designation. Several years after Philip graduated, the University of Alberta Faculty of Law, among many other Canadian universities, changed the designation they provided from the LL.B. to the J.D., and Philip has chosen to keep his LL.B.

We are also occasionally asked why Philip does not have an undergraduate degree before obtaining his LL.B. [Bachelor of Laws]. This is because Philip was accepted into the Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta early, before he had finished obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree, and chose to pursue his legal career as soon as he could.
