Les turns the kind of tax questions that keep owners up at night into clear decisions.
He helps private companies, families, and their advisors work through corporate reorganizations, cross-border transactions, succession plans, and the tax affairs of trusts and estates, always with a plain-spoken style that makes hard choices feel manageable.
He built and now leads Davidson’s Tax and Private Enterprise practice, with particular strength in cross-border, personal, and corporate tax. His clients include private companies, trusts, estates, and junior mining companies, each with its own mix of planning and compliance needs.
Les is as well known inside the firm as he is with clients. He has built and mentored a strong tax team dedicated to exceptional service and fresh thinking, and colleagues credit him with shaping how the practice works and grows.
Outside the office, Les enjoys an active lifestyle through cycling, kayaking, golfing, and playing hockey. He values time spent with family and friends, traveling with his wife and daughter, and unwinding with a glass of fine wine.
