Over four decades, Doug has developed a stellar reputation, among colleagues and clients alike, for delivering both high-quality tax advice and timely service. He recognizes that tax laws are continually evolving and thrives on the challenge of solving new problems through collaboration with clients and colleagues.
After venturing west to Calgary with McCarthy and McCarthy (later renamed McCarthy Tétrault) in the late 1970s, Doug and two fellow partners set up the firm’s first office outside of Ontario. During his time at McCarthy Tétrault he served for eight years as National Tax Practice Leader, and for six years on the Board of Directors. It wasn’t long before he established himself as a leader in the Canadian tax community. In 2013, Doug joined PwC Law LLP to establish its Calgary office and was most recently Counsel at Moodys Private Client LLP.
In his spare time, Doug enjoys spending time with his wife, Janet, and his extended family, which includes four children, their spouses, and ten grandchildren.
