Adam has a passion for representing the vulnerable, and has long been involved with initiatives to address issues of mental capacity, accessibility, and end-of-life care. He is a strong advocate for individuals confronted with illness or the death of a loved one, and is committed to helping clients—at every stage of life—through what can often be complex and emotionally draining legal disputes.

Adam’s practice focuses on estate and trust litigation, estate administration, capacity and guardianship disputes, and appellate advocacy. He is a designated Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) with the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and holds a STEP Advanced Certificate in Cross-Border Estates.

Since 2021, Adam has been a co-author of three chapters in the Canadian Legal Information Institute’s “Civil Procedure and Practice in Ontario.” His chapters cover Rule 75 – Estates – Contentious Proceedings, Rule 75.1 – Mandatory Mediation – Estates, Trusts and Substitute Decisions, and Rule 75.2 – Court-Ordered Estates Mediation.

Prior to joining Casey & Moss LLP, Adam worked as a summer student at a full-service national law firm. He later articled with the Office of the Children’s Lawyer, working on a wide range of cases in the areas of estates, trusts, and family law. Adam also previously worked for the Law Commission of Ontario, where he completed research on the Law Commission’s project, Improving the Last Stages of Life. During his time at law school, Adam was awarded the Honourable James Kreppner Health Law Internship, for which he helped write a book chapter on end-of-life care, capacity issues, and informed consent.

When he’s not practicing the law, Adam enjoys playing soccer, hiking, and exploring medieval towns across Europe. He also sings tenor in a local Toronto choir.
