Shane Gross

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES

With more than 17 years of legal experience, and licensed to practice law in Alberta, Canada & Massachusetts, USA, Shane’s practice focuses on business immigration law (Canada and US bound) and business law (corporate & commercial law), acting for a broad range of clients across North America, including publicly traded international corporations, small to medium sized private companies to individuals and start-ups.  Having practiced within one of the largest national law firms in Canada, as in-house counsel for a global engineering firm with more than 20,000 employees, and having been a business owner as well, Shane has practical experience advising clients through a variety of legal matters and believes that the practice of law can and should be practical, facilitative, accessible and have price certainty.

For immigration matters, he represents clients on a broad range of matters, including visitor visa, work permit and permanent resident applications, whether they are consular, port of entry or processing centre submissions.  Shane’s immigration practice has a particular focus on assisting clients with multi-jurisdictional operations, developing global mobility strategies with a network serving over 100 countries that allow clients to mobilize human capital in a global economy.  He also enjoys helping companies establish new operations in Canada and the United States, either by expansion or acquisition, and oversees employee transfers to these jurisdictions.  His immigration practice is based on a fixed fee basis, providing cost certainty to clients.

For general corporate commercial matters, Shane acts as de-facto General Counsel, dealing with a myriad of general corporate & commercial matters.  He has assisted clients in handling their incorporation, drafting various commercial agreements, as well as responding to and negotiating contracts issued under RFPs.  He has also assisted in performing the due diligence required in the sale or purchase of companies and other assets.  His business law practice includes bulk hourly rates that allow access to legal advice at a lower rate than traditional law firms.

Outside of practicing law, Shane is an avid outdoorsman, music lover and traveller, and works hard to deserve the title “Best Dad in The World”.
