Leonard Finegold

A former Director of Legal & Labour Relations for Ellis-Don Construction Ltd. and Executive Legal Counsel to a large mining redevelopment company, Leonard brings unique and particularly valuable insights to construction-related matters and often acts as a sounding board to senior construction executives.

His broad experience in the private sector also includes such roles as former in-house counsel to a major mechanical/electrical subcontractor and former counsel to a large multinational mining company in which Leonard navigated the complex legalities associated with the construction and development of a large-scale mining project in northern Ontario.

His career as a lawyer in public practice is equally extensive. Leonard was a partner in the Construction Law Group of Goodman and Carr for nine years prior to joining Goldman Sloan Nash & Haber LLP in 2000.

Leonard is a Founding Fellow of the Canadian College of Construction Lawyers and is a former co-chairman of the General Contractors Section of the Toronto Construction Association. He is a frequent speaker and noted author on construction law issues for industry and legal professionals.
