About John

John’s litigation practice focuses on property disputes, including real estate, environmental and commercial litigation, condominium law, expropriation law, energy regulation, and regulatory offences.

John is a Policy Advisor with the Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations (CAEPLA), and assists landowners across Canada in dealing with energy projects on their lands.
