Me in Brief

I have been practicing law for 23 years and have done a lot of work with First Nations and companies in the resources sector. In this work, I have across a wide range of individuals, with different backgrounds and different perspectives on business ethics. Those that have succeeded in the longer term have had a stronger ethical view. They did not just want to meet the base legal requirements, but wanted to make a real difference in the communities that were effected by their projects. These individuals and organizations became even more successful and there is a really strong business case for CSR.
