Established over 40 years ago, well-known boutique Felesky Flynn LLP has grown into one of the largest dedicated tax firms in Canada. Particularly recognized for its specialist skill set in resource taxation — where it can leverage its two platforms in Alberta to support energy clients — it also stands out for its record in ‘butterfly’ spin-off transactions.

John Fuller; all handle a mix of tax planning and tax litigation, among other matters.
