During his time at OKT, Kevin has been involved in many high profile matters, including national class actions about First Nations drinking water and housing. He excels in both oral and written advocacy, having drafted submissions for all levels of court and appearing before the Supreme Court of Canada and appellate and trial courts across the country. Kevin is a valued mentor and support to OKT’s younger lawyers, and contributes his time regularly to law schools in Toronto and Victoria, supervising placement students and giving guest lectures on Aboriginal law topics.
