Prior to law school, Nick spent 10 years in various roles at a national bank in Commercial and Specialty Lending, Commercial Credit, and Commercial Workout. His experience in banking centered around financial, credit, and collateral analysis, loan documentation, and security agreements for companies across a wide variety of industries.

Nick's interest in innovation drove him to attend law school with an end goal of working in intellectual property.

Nick's focus is on assisting clients in the protection of their most valuable asset - their ideas.

Nick lives in his hometown of Scarborough with a great group of family and friends nearby. When he is not at work, he is usually found spending time with his friends and family, traveling, enjoying sports, or blaming his clubs for his poor golf performance.
