Sydney Abougoush

Hey folks, meet Syd Abougoush, a real legal eagle based out of Calgary who’s been cracking corporate codes and sorting securities since he got his Bar ticket back in 2006. He's currently rocking it as a Partner at Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP, where he's become the go-to guy for anything from early-stage startups to giant tech outfits needing legal brains to help them navigate complex waters.

Syd cut his legal teeth at Queen's University, scooping up a Bachelor of Laws in 2005, right after polishing off a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Victoria in 2001. He’s even got the Canadian Securities Course under his belt from way back in 2002, making him a bit of a whiz when it comes to financial regulations.

Working in areas that are on the front lines of business like financial services, life sciences, and tech, Syd’s been deeply involved with every phase of company growth. He’s the dude you want on your side for launching IPOs, handling mergers, or laying down the law on corporate governance. Plus, he’s got a special knack for guiding companies through the labyrinth of TSX Venture Exchange and TSX listings.

Beyond his office hours, Syd's commitment to the community isn’t something you can overlook. He’s a former Co-Chair and active member of the Calgary United Way Sponsorship Committee, proving he’s all about giving back and not just climbing the corporate ladder.

For anyone in the legal loop on LinkedIn, Syd’s a familiar face with over 470 connections and counting. He’s not just about networking; he genuinely supports his colleagues and cheers on their successes—like his buddy Shane, who he recently praised for an amazing 8-year run at BLN, wishing him a relaxing summer and all the best for his next adventures.
