Drew is well known as one of Canada’s leading international tax advisors.

Drew’s extensive experience advising clients spans some of the most important sectors of the Canadian economy including the private equity, mining, energy, real estate, and financial services sectors. His industry knowledge and pragmatic, commercial approach allow him to deliver tailored advice that is in lockstep with clients’ strategic business objectives. With his unrivalled depth of understanding of the ever-changing international tax environment, Drew develops innovative and tax-efficient structures.

“With tax laws across the globe being inherently complex and constantly evolving, clients need access to strategic counsel who can help them stay competitive,” said Raj Juneja, Co-Head of McCarthy Tétrault’s National Tax Group. “Drew has built a strong reputation among Canada’s leading international tax planning experts. He is the perfect complement to our already market-leading national tax practice. We are thrilled to have him join our firm.”
