About Marco Wai

Venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance make up much of Marco Wai's work as an associate with Gowling WLG in the Waterloo Region. Wai advises on a broad mix of general corporate and commercial matters too, with tech and private equity among the listed areas of focus.

In June 2024, Wai was on the Gowling WLG team acting for NexPhase Capital, a private equity firm, when it invested in Insurance Systems Inc., which makes enterprise software for property and casualty insurers.
