Shiv Ganesh

Shiv maintains a litigation and alternate dispute resolution practice, with a focus on corporate/commercial, personal injury, insurance and risk management, product liability, professional liability, and securities litigation.

He has advocated before the Alberta Court of Justice, Court of King’s Bench, Mutual Fund Dealers’ Association and Alberta Securities Commission.
