Tristan Neill
Gowling WLGFielding one of the largest construction groups in the country, Gowling WLG’s generous national platform ensures that it can draw on sector specialists from across its seven Canadian offices. The practice is well weighted between front-end and back-end work, where it acts for an impressive roster of leading domestic and multinational construction companies, governmental authorities and private-sector owners, among other clients. Toronto-based Ted Betts spearheads the department and specializes in non-contentious construction, with an emphasis on the infrastructure and energy spheres; he is representing McMaster Innovation Park on the development of a C$1bn research facility. Names to note on the contentious side include Brian Kapusianyk (Calgary), next-generation partner Sahil Shoor (Kitchener) and associate Tristan Neill (Kitchener).
