Vancouver—Dentons is pleased to announce that James Moore is joining our Firm as Senior Business Advisor. Based in our Vancouver office, James will be providing strategic advice to clients in British Columbia, across Canada and around the world.

James has earned an outstanding reputation over his years spent in government, most notably as Minister of Industry from 2013 to 2015, where he oversaw a wide range of Canada’s public policy decisions and led a team responsible for the Canada Space Agency, the Canada Tourism Commission, the Business Development Bank of Canada, Statistics Canada, the National Research Council of Canada, the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the Canada Foundation for Innovation and more.

During his time as Minister of Industry, James also served as Regional Minister for the province of BC and was responsible for all Government of Canada appointments from the province and providing strategic advice from a BC perspective.

With deep roots in BC, James is a trusted member of the community and was named “One of Vancouver’s 50 Most Powerful” in the Vancouver Magazine. He also holds the distinction of being the youngest Cabinet Minister in BC history.

We are delighted to welcome James to Dentons. Our clients in Vancouver, across the country and around the world will greatly benefit from his strategic advice and insights,” said Managing Partner, Dentons’ Vancouver office. “James’ knowledge of our local business community and opportunities, as well as his experience on an international stage, make him an ideal addition to our team.”

James brings a wealth of local, national and global insight and perspective to Dentons,” said Chris Pinnington, Dentons’ Canada Chief Executive Officer. “James’ broad experience further enhances our depth and ability to provide our clients with results-driven trusted counsel at the increasingly important and complex intersection of business, law and public policy.”

Dentons’ polycentric approach is what drew me to the Firm,” said James Moore. “As a local Vancouver law firm with an impressive national and global reach, they have the talent and the know-how to keep their clients ahead of the competition by helping them expand into new markets, or bring new business to BC. I greatly look forward to working with the Dentons team.”
