John Papadakis, a partner at Blaney McMurtry LLP, demonstrated competence in handling my secured lending case. His extensive experience in corporate and real estate law, particularly his work for financial institutions, was evident in his approach. However, the communication could have been more frequent and proactive, which may have alleviated my concerns regarding wait times. Despite this, I appreciate John's expertise, as evidenced by his recognition as a 'Recognized Practitioner' in Corporate/Commercial (Ontario) by Chambers & Partners Canada Guide. I believe his professional growth and communication skills will surely improve with time.
