Jesse has experience litigating in all levels of court in Ontario

Jesse graduated from Queens University, Faculty of Law in 2020, and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2021. Jesse articled at a prominent full-service firm in which he acquired experience in various areas of litigation, including construction, commercial, and professional liability.

Prior to joining BYLD, Jesse practiced in Toronto at a litigation boutique firm specializing in professional liability defence and construction law. Jesse has experience litigating in all levels of court in Ontario and has experience advocating for clients at all stages of a proceeding. He is no stranger to litigating complex, multi-faceted, and high-stake matters with dozens of parties.

When Jesse is not grappling with complex legal issues, he prefers to spend his time grappling competitively and is a frequent medalist of Brazilian ju-jitsu tournaments.
