About John L. Ross
Companies doing deals, raising capital or borrowing against their assets can turn to John L. Ross, a partner in Gowling WLG's Toronto office. Ross's corporate finance and commercial work centres on mergers and acquisitions, securities, secured financing and asset securitization. That same ground shows up in Ross's writing for professional publications, which covers Ontario's Personal Property Security Act, the review of foreign investment, and corporate and securities law.
Ross has practised since the 1983 Ontario call, with Osgoode Hall and York University behind that. For 15 years, Ross also taught Business Law at the Law Society of Upper Canada's Bar Admission Course.
Outside the firm, Ross holds board seats at several private companies in manufacturing, service and technology. On the community side, there's been a term as president and director of the University Settlement Recreation Centre, and both the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario have honoured Ross with Volunteer Recognition Awards.
