ABOUT JOHN SANDRELLI
I’m a Partner at Dentons Canada and the National Leader of our Firm’s Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy group. I have been involved in almost every major recent restructuring and insolvency case in British Columbia. I have represented clients across various industries, including cannabis, mining, forestry, real estate, aviation, energy, retail, media, technology and manufacturing.I regularly act for companies in need of restructuring, as well as for trustees, receivers, financial institutions, commercial lenders, noteholders, investors, and other creditors. My experience extends to restructurings under both the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and the Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. I have conducted substantial cross-border work, providing me with a clear understanding of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Global companies often seek my advice on lending and remedy issues in Canada, and I am frequently retained by other international law firms for my insight on Canadian bankruptcy issues.My broad experience includes working with almost every industry, including my recent focus on the cannabis industry since its legalization for recreational use in Canada in October 2018. The challenges faced by this industry have allowed me to develop a particular niche in this area.I confidently take on complex mandates and provide innovative solutions with integrity and alacrity.I am a former member of Dentons’ Canada Region Board (serving as Audit Committee Chair) and served on Dentons’ Advisory Board of the Asia Pacific Region and Global Advisory Committee. Most recently, I was the Managing Partner of the Vancouver office from July 2017 to August 2024. Under my tenure, the Vancouver office solidified its reputation as Vancouver’s true global law firm. Notably, the firm was repeatedly recognized as one of BC’s Top Employers for five consecutive years for attracting and retaining talented, vibrant, and dedicated professionals.Visit my website bio to download my V-card:
