Alex maintains a broad tax planning and advisory practice assisting clients with business structuring, corporate reorganizations, and mergers and acquisitions, with a focus on the resource and energy sectors.

Her expertise includes advising tax-exempt entities on the tax aspects of participating in major infrastructure projects, particularly through partnership vehicles. Alex also regularly advises market participants in Ontario’s electricity system as Ontario seeks to consolidate electricity distribution in the province. Alex’s practice extends to tax matters in the charitable and not-for-profit context.

Before joining Osler, Alex was a corporate and tax associate at a leading Indigenous rights firm where she supported Indigenous communities with economic development, fiscal, and tax matters. Given this background, she has unique expertise in tax issues that arise in the Indigenous context, particularly as Indigenous participation in the resource and energy sectors increases.
