Practice Areas

Litigation practice with a primary focus in real estate and business disputes.

Career

Wes loves the law almost as much as he loves the Winnipeg Jets. To his wife’s dismay, he records and watches Supreme Court of Canada hearings for fun. It is rare that a legal issue doesn’t pique Wes’ interest.

Wes is an experienced commercial litigator having made appearances before administrative tribunals, trial courts, the Court of Appeal and multiple appearances at the Supreme Court of Canada on a broad array of legal issues.

The primary focus of Wes' litigation practice is real estate and business disputes. In his real estate practice, Wes has experience advising and litigating in respect of complex land assemblies, collapsing real estate deals, easements, restrictive covenants and statutory building schemes, to name a few.

When not thinking about the law, Wes enjoys staying active by running, curling, playing hockey (having missed out on an NHL career only by reason of a lack of size and talent), and trying to keep up with his two daughters.
