The group’s six partners share leadership of the practice: the ‘simply phenomenal’ Elizabeth Brown, Terra Klinck, John Prezioso, Sean Maxwell, Lindsay McLeod and Jennifer Agnew. Also noted are counsel Cary Wong, who is well-versed in providing advice on legislative and regulatory compliance matters involving pension and benefit plans; and associate Pamela Odina, who routinely assists public and private-sector clients with pension plan design, administration, compliance, funding and governance. Sean Maxwell and associate Maggie Carmichael joined from Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP in May 2024. Lisa Mills retired in June the same year.
