Areas of Practice

Ryan is an associate in the tax litigation group, where he works primarily with Alistair G. Campbell. He is developing a broad tax disputes practice and also supports the firm’s tax planners. 

Prior to joining us, Ryan clerked for the judges of the Tax Court of Canada, where he assisted on a variety of income tax and indirect tax issues, including a high profile general-anti avoidance rule (GAAR) appeal.   

Ryan articled at a boutique Vancouver law firm, focusing on corporate and commercial transactions for owner-managed businesses. There, he learned how to ‘characterize’ events, which is an essential step before applying the taxable consequences.
