After 33 years of teaching law at Western, Craig Brown has announced he will broaden his academic interests with a venture into the professional world.

Brown recently accepted a consulting position at Thomas Gold Pettingill Limited Liability Partnership of Toronto.

In the past, Brown has offered his services as a consultant to various lawyers, government organizations and industry interest groups.

Brown added he would continue teaching law despite the added responsibilities of being a consultant.

“I enjoy teaching; I enjoy relating to students [and] I enjoy doing academic research in the legal field,” Brown said, when asked what has kept him involved in academics after so many years.

Brown’s extensive experience with education will be incorporated into his new position at TGP LLP, where his role as a senior consultant will also include mentoring junior staff members.
