Brandon Smith

Professional Profile:

Brandon Smith - BA CIRP Business & Society, Ontario College Advanced Diploma with Honours, Construction Engineering Technology, Certified Insolvency Counsellor, Chartered Insolvency & Restructuring Professional (CIRP), Licensed Trustee in Bankruptcy

Brandon became involved in insolvency through his father Ira. Insolvency is the family business. Ira Smith, a trustee in bankruptcy, opened his own firm in 2005. A year later he was looking to hire additional staff and Brandon was looking for a career change, so the timing was right and the fit was perfect. Joining the firm was a move that has greatly benefited both Brandon and Ira.

Insolvency allows Brandon to use both business acumen and interpersonal skills to solve the problems faced by his clients, particularly those facing personal financial crisis. He finds it very satisfying to be able to work with a person in financial trouble, alleviating their burden and getting them back on track.

Brandon has intimate knowledge of the ramifications facing individuals and small business in financial crisis. Prior to joining the firm, he worked in the construction and renovation industry and brings his specialized knowledge to insolvency matters in both the complex areas of verification and quantification of lien claims and asset realizations.
