Biography
Partner at Fogler, Rubinoff LLP, Toronto, exclusively practicing Aboriginal and Indigenous law. I began practicing in this specialty as in-house lawyer for Grand Council Treaty #3 in the 1980’s, and was a member of the legal team which represented Ontario First Nations in the 1981 First Ministers Conference which resulted in the inclusion of s. 35 in the Constitution Act, 1982. Legislative drafting for Indigenous clients has remained one of the main bases of my law practice. I also act for First Nations in claims and other matters including, most recently, acting as legal counsel for Henvey Inlet First Nation in the creation of the environmental laws and land tenure system for that First Nation’s 300 MW wind energy centre, one of the largest projects on reserve land in Canada. I am a past Chair of the OBA’s Aboriginal Law Section.
