Dual Perspective, Singular Focus

Our team understands regulatory litigation from both sides of the aisle and is led by Chilwin Cheng, who has served as Chief Counsel to Canada’s public equities market regulator and as a prosecutor with the BC Securities Commission.  We are also trusted counsel to several of British Columbia’s health and natural resource regulators, representing their interests in investigations, prosecutions, and civil litigation.

This dual perspective allows us to anticipate regulatory strategies and craft effective defences for our clients. With over 25 years of experience as a regulatory prosecutor, Crown counsel, and in private practice, Chilwin is recognized for his strategic insight, integrity, and courtroom excellence. He is regularly sought out by peers for his ability to handle complex, high-profile matters with discretion and rigour.
