My experience has straddled both legal and business, having started my career at large Boston-area law firms before moving back home to Toronto to work in finance/business roles.  I had always enjoyed acting as legal counsel to growth companies and decided that I wanted to get back to doing so…but in a way that would better allow me to shape my practice towards my personal interests and that would give clients a cost-effective option for legal services. Long story short, a good friend had worked on a deal alongside Cognition LLP, and made the connection.  It turned out that Cognition LLP suited my needs, and I’ve really enjoyed working in this way.  I’ve been able to bring more of my skills and experience to the table, get a better understanding of my clients’ businesses and have become a part of their teams as trusted in-house counsel.
