My Profile
Our Brand Story – Zenas Law
I am dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for my clients, having led on many successful deals. Continuous improvement drives my practice.
I am a senior corporate and commercial lawyer with nearly two decades of experience advising financial institutions, corporations, and public-sector stakeholders on complex transactions, regulatory matters, and risk management. My practice spans corporate and commercial law, banking and finance, international trade, property, labour, and administrative law, with deep experience in cross-border and high-value transactions.
I have led and executed sophisticated financings and commercial transactions across energy, infrastructure, trade, technology, and real estate sectors. My experience includes managing contract and security documentation portfolios in millions cross-border energy transactions, advising on high profile syndicated infrastructure projects, and supporting export and trade transactions. These matters were consistently delivered with zero liability outcomes, early completion, and measurable cost savings.
In addition to transactional work, I bring strong governance and regulatory insight developed through senior in-house leadership and public-sector advisory roles. I have advised boards and senior executives on compliance, enterprise risk, policy development, and regulatory strategy, including legislative and executive-level briefing work within the Canadian public service.
Clients value my ability to anticipate risk, structure legally sound and commercially practical solutions, and deliver clear, decisive advice in high-stakes environments. I am known for precision, sound judgment, and steady leadership in complex negotiations and time-sensitive matters.
Outside of my legal practice, I am a wife and a mother. In addition to my family life, I am active Community Leader and Youth coach as well as a civil officiant.
