BIO

Sandy is an associate in the Halifax Office of Cox & Palmer. Originally from Lunenburg, Sandy was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in 2018. He holds a Juris Doctor and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of New Brunswick and a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from Saint Mary’s University.

Sandy’s practice focuses on corporate mergers and acquisitions, guiding his clients through complex transactions with a focus on providing practical advice while seeing deals through to completion. He has experience in buying and selling a wide range of businesses, including fishing enterprises, franchised restaurants and other franchised service providers, and professional services practices, such as veterinary and dental practices.

In tandem with his mergers and acquisitions practice, Sandy also has experience in commercial lending. He advises clients on complex financial arrangements that are often connected with their purchasing of a business or the financing of a large project.

Sandy also has experience advising on operational aspects of a business. With a keen eye for detail, Sandy negotiates, drafts and advises on the legal documents that affect the day-to-day operations of a business, such as service agreements for his clients to use in their business, workplace policies, board of directors governance documents and policies, and shareholder agreements. His thorough approach ensures legal documents are finely tuned to meet the unique needs of his clients and protect their interests. When operational relationships break down, Sandy has experience advising on best practices to resolve disputes prior to the litigation stage to ensure a fair and amicable result.

In his free time, you will likely find Sandy hanging out with his wife and daughter at the beach or ski hill or at the golf course, soccer field, and hockey rink.
