While directing the firm’s comprehensive services, he has provided significant guidance and mentorship to other firm members with his vast experience representing clients in corporate commercial and litigation matters.

Stan’s legal tenure has primarily encompassed administrative hearing work, commercial litigation and oil & gas, corporate and commercial transactions.

In that capacity he provides extensive development of strategy and negotiation or litigation, followed by the preparation of detailed and complex agreements and related documentation for the settlement of disputes.
