Toronto-Dentons Canada has enhanced its national Trusts, Estates and Wealth Preservation group with the addition of partner Blair L. Botsford in Toronto. Botsford comes to the firm from Blaney McMurtry LLP.
Blair’s practice focuses on will and estate planning, trusts, powers of attorney and advance care planning, guardianship, disability planning, estate and trust administration, elder law, charitable giving, and related taxation.
Her clients include professionals, business owners and high net worth individuals, many of whom have multi-jurisdictional planning needs.
Tony Schweitzer, head of Dentons’ Toronto Tax group, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Blair L. Botsford, who brings exceptional experience to complement our tax and estate litigation capabilities in Ontario. Through the growth of our wider team, which follows the joining of partner Rhonda Johnson in our Edmonton office earlier this month, we look forward to providing an enhanced service to our clients, including high net worth individuals and financial institutions, who need comprehensive tax, trusts, wills and estates advice and counsel both across Canada and internationally.”
