Brian has resided in the London area since first attending the University of Western Ontario. He graduated on the Dean’s Honour Roll with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics in 1974. He then obtained his Bachelor of Law degree from Western in 1977.

Since his call to the Bar in 1979, Brian has practised law in London, moving with his law partner of more than 20 years, Paul Steacy, to join the Cohen Highley corporate/commercial, real estate and estate practice team in early 2001.

Brian’s practice covers all areas of real estate, including purchase, sale, mortgaging and leasing of residential, commercial and development properties. Brian also has represented a number of local and out-of-town builders and builder developers over the years, as well as commercial landlords and tenants. Brian has established a depth of expertise in the area of corporate/commercial law, looking after the diverse and ever-changing legal corporate needs of several local and out-of-town businesses and not-for-profit agencies. Brian can also assist you with your Will preparation, estate planning and estate administration needs.

Brian has been a member of the Middlesex Bar Association, the Canadian Bar Association and was a part-time real estate instructor at the local Bar Admissions Course. He is active in the local community, having worked with various charities, non-profit organizations, service groups and his church community over the years. Brian taught the late fall Real Property course at the University of Western Ontario Law School in 2006. Brian indicates that he has also conquered much of the stress which can accrue from practising law by achieving his Black Belt in Shorin Ru Karate in 1999, after seven years of training. Brian lives in Lambeth with his wife and their two children.
