About
Meet the founder.
I’m Connor, a Canadian lawyer and the founder of Clearview Counsel.
Before Clearview, I worked at one of Canada’s largest (and leading!) law firms, helping household names establish & grow their businesses across Canada.
These days, I help organizations of all kinds – from local start-ups to large multinationals – build iconic brands in competitive markets, guiding them through the process of becoming tomorrow’s industry leaders.
