Kent is the best of the best. His advocacy skills are unmatched, his writing is sharp, and his advice is practical and sound. Hes a once-in-a-generation lawyer. (Client Chambers Canada 2017)
Kent practises complex, high-stakes litigation across a wide range of areas. Recognized repeatedly as one of Canadas leading trial and appellate counsel, Kent is trusted by clients to act on their most critical matters.
Kent appears regularly in courts at every level throughout Canada. He also acts before a number of tribunals in Canada, including the Ontario Securities Commission and the Competition Tribunal.
Lead counsel in many of Canadas most closely watched cases, Kent has achieved numerous precedent-setting decisions in areas as diverse as oppression, plans of arrangement, class actions, corporate law, securities law, tort law, competition law, tax law, voting law and defamation. The Supreme Court of Canada has decided a number of these cases in favour of Kents clients. He has also succeeded in complex domestic and international arbitrations for clients in proceedings in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Australia and Africa.
As one client says, Kent has such dexterity in his ability to formulate and identify winning arguments. Its impressive to watch how quick his mind can work and the execution is flawless. (Chambers Canada 2016)
