Gowling WLG is pleased to welcome Lesley Kim to its national Tax Group as a partner based in the firm's Calgary office.

Lesley focuses her practice on domestic and international tax law, with an emphasis on corporate and individual income taxation – including in the context of cross-border transactions, corporate reorganizations, public and private company financings, mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, and dispute resolution with Canada's taxing authorities.

"As Canada's corporate landscape continues to undergo significant dynamism in the wake of the pandemic, we know that swift access to sophisticated tax advice remains a major priority for our clients," said Regina Corrigan, office managing partner of Gowling WLG's Calgary office.
