Ted is a trusted advisor with a wide range of courtroom and jury experience. He acts on commercial and civil disputes, professional discipline matters, coroner’s inquests, and public inquiries.
As counsel, Ted combines courtroom skill with tech expertise. He is regularly retained to assist with matters involving computer-based evidence including social media evidence and electronic data privacy. In 2022, Ted was counsel on the Continental Bank litigation in Ontario where a complex computer forensic investigation and digital evidence analysis resulted in the permanent stay of an opposing party’s $80 million dollar commercial action. The case remains a leading authority on the law of abuse of process.
In addition to his commercial work, Ted has a well-established public and regulatory law practice. In early 2023, he was lead counsel for Ornge air ambulance at the multi-week jury inquest into the death of prominent Oji-Cree artist, Moses Beaver. Also in 2023, Ted acted for the family of Soleiman Faqiri at the landmark coroner’s inquest into Soleiman’s death at the hands of correctional staff at Ontario’s Central East Correctional Centre. From 2016 to 2017, Ted was counsel for a collective of police parties at the Seven Fallen Feathers inquest – a seven month long jury proceeding which heard evidence from more than 140 witnesses.
Outside of the courtroom, Ted is a trial advocacy instructor for a leading Ontario legal education provider. He is also a co-author of Digital Privacy: Criminal, Civil and Regulatory Litigation (LexisNexis, 2018) and has published articles in many international publications including the Law and Financial Markets Review (UK), the Canadian Journal of Administrative Law and Practice and ACAMS Today.
