His addition gives us a new practice area in Canada — competition — and also enhances the firm’s commercial litigation services, both in Canada and the United States,” said James H. Heller, co-chair of the firm’s Commercial Litigation Department. “As a trial lawyer with substantial experience in regulatory matters, particularly competition/antitrust and other commercial disputes, he brings a cross-border pedigree that’s vitally important to our Canadian clients.
