ABOUT PHILIP G.
I am responsible for leading the employment, labour, litigation, and immigration functions for nine offices globally (Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Sao Paulo, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Mumbai). In my role, I also provide expertise to our portfolio companies across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.Utilizing my business acumen, judgment, agility, and commitment, I deliver proactive services with an emphasis on risk management. I work collaboratively with colleagues to find solutions that support our corporate goal of growing the fund to $300 billion by 2030.My professional approach is informed by my qualification as a Certified Information Privacy Professional and my previous in-house experience with a major international financial institution. In that role, I advised on reputational, financial, and regulatory risks related to privacy, data, cybersecurity, fraud investigations, privileged issues, and litigation. Before this, I practiced employment, privacy, and commercial litigation with a prominent Toronto firm.I have experience conducting and advising on investigations, climate reviews, policy and procedure reviews, including work with the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, universities, school boards, transit corporations, unions, and not-for-profit organizations.Additionally, I have extensive experience writing papers and presenting on employment law and privacy law topics. I have taught courses on mediation techniques and practices and served as a court-appointed mediator while completing my LL.M, which focused on labour and employment law. I hold an H.B.A. in history with minors in women and gender studies and political science, and possess knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion principles.
