His reputation has been built on his professional experience in handling such matters (including in excess of 40 trials, 30 appeals to the Ontario Court of Appeal, appearances before the OMB and an appearance in the Supreme Court of Canada in Hill v. Hamilton-Wentworth Police, a leading case on police liability); co-authoring the leading text in the field of municipal liability; editing and regularly contributing to a national municipal risk management newsletter; and speaking at numerous conferences and seminars sponsored by municipal lawyers' associations, municipal risk and insurance administrators organizations, the Ontario Bar Association and professional legal conference organizers.
