Samantha has assisted clients across a broad range of industries with a variety of transactions, including public and private mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, follow-on public offerings, private placements and stock exchange listings.

In 2017, Samantha completed a secondment with the Enforcement Branch of the Ontario Securities Commission. This experience allowed Samantha to gain an enhanced understanding of the regulator’s perspective as well as insight into how to achieve success for clients.

Samantha obtained her Bachelor of Commerce (with High Distinction) from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto in 2014. She received her JD from Western Law in 2017. After her first year of law school, Samantha interned with the debt resolution and business exit team at the World Bank in Washington, D.C.
