Working with Jack on our company's restructuring process was a revelation. His approach was not just thorough but also incredibly insightful, blending his deep knowledge of insolvency with a clear understanding of our unique situation. From the get-go, Jack's guidance was invaluable, especially considering the complex cross-border elements of our case.

Jack's ability to navigate through the intricacies of both the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, all while keeping our commercial and strategic interests at the forefront, was impressive. His experience on the international stage, particularly his work in Doha and London, brought a unique perspective to our case, one that you don't come across every day.

In Calgary, where our headquarters is located, Jack's reputation preceded him, but it was his hands-on approach that really made the difference. Whether we were meeting in his office or hashing out details over conference calls, Jack was always prepared, proactive, and, most importantly, patient.

His role as lead counsel in our restructuring was critical. He managed to steer us through contested litigation with a finesse that only someone of his caliber could achieve. His experience as co-counsel in high-profile insolvency proceedings was evident in how he handled our case, always with a strategic eye on the outcome.
