A Message from Louis
I am very excited to continue my professional life with the establishment of this office. This initiative comes from asking myself: what would the practice of law be like if I only did what I enjoyed the most? I love advising my clients, working with them through the myriad of business problems that come along, chasing opportunities, celebrating their successes and navigating the setbacks.
And I love being asked to help parties resolve disputes using mediation and arbitration. It is a great privilege to be nominated in these roles, and I strive my best to discharge my responsibilities as best as I can – sharing over three decades of legal and practical experience to help parties come to early resolution in their disputes.
