Eric’s Expertise
Transaction Advisory Services
Considerations around transactions – buying, selling, expanding or restructuring – are major considerations, and oftentimes more questions arise after making your initiative decision to buy (or sell, or expand, or restructure…)
Transition and Succession Planning
For business owners, the business itself is the ultimate investment. It’s often all in, and the way to retire happily ever after. But what if “ever after” comes before you’re happily prepared?
Crisis Management & Restructuring
When a potential risk becomes a real risk, a company and its stakeholders, with varying motivations and interests, often need to navigate a complex web of decisions.
First Nations and Indigenous Advisory
Issues such as land claims and resource development projects are crucial yet delicate matters that impact First Nations and Indigenous communities and need careful navigation with various stakeholders.
