Kyle trained in some of the leading medical science laboratories in the country before moving into the legal field. While training in a nobel prize winning laboratory, he found the best innovators to be those who thought about how to make ideas happen, rather than just describe them and theorize. Kyle developed expertise in fields of immunology, virology, and other life sciences, and even discovered a novel bacteriophage. He turned to the law upon finding a gap between the bench and the real world.
Kyle enjoys working on problems that cannot be easily categorized. He is most at home when he is resolving issues that requires legal knowledge, technical skills, and business acumen. These are often matters related to disputes in highly technical fields or strategies to capitalize on innovations. Kyle has appeared in various courts and tribunals and served as an adjudicator on a provincial statutory tribunal. He has academically researched risk identification and mitigation from a legal perspective and the implementation of risk tools in contracts and business.
