He worked in the Privy Council Office of Canada, taught tax law as a full-time professor and wrote a multi-volume treatise on corporate reorganization which he later edited for over 10 years, joined the tax group of one of the largest law firms in Canada where he practised tax law for fifteen years as an equity partner and vice-chair of the tax section and contributed many featured articles in specialized tax publications notably in the area of international branch tax planning and executive compensation, and then acted as founder or investor in ventures including publishing and software development.
