Bonjour! I’m a bilingual, dedicated, and empathetic lawyer and trustee with a knack for strategic thinking and problem-solving for my clients. I’ve built and led teams of lawyers and clerks, represented clients at the Superior Court of Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada. I’ve also co-founded a high-tech pharmaceutical company while acting as its general counsel.
I help families and business owners plan for and execute what is often their single largest transfer of wealth. I advise individuals, couples, retirees, business owners, adult children of aging parents, aging parents of adult children, family members of incapacitated individuals, and family members of individuals with diminished capacity. I provide legal and strategic advice on estate planning, estate administration, consent and capacity issues, and substitute decision making, including Powers of Attorney. I also help resolve disputes between family members in the estate administration and substitute decision making contexts. I act as executor and trustee, and I assist executors and trustees. I plan estates and I help administer them for my clients’ loved ones in difficult times.
I’m a graduate of the University of Ottawa with Majors in Philosophy and Public Administration, where I held a leadership position in student government. I also completed a Master’s degree in Philosophy on the University of Ottawa Admission Scholarship in 2011. I earned a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2014, where I led its student government and was awarded the Dean’s Gold Key Award. I was called to the Ontario Bar in 2015.
I’m a regular public speaker on estate and trust law matters, advanced care planning, health law, and consent and capacity issues. I’m also a past advisor to a national not-for-profit organization on health law.
I’m a past board member of a hospital, past university lecturer, and a published author on health law, consent and capacity. I love my clients, and they are the reason I show up for work.
Formerly ranked 1st in North America in elite club rowing, I’m a disciplined single sculler who brings the balance and discipline of rowing to everything that I do. I read widely, write and publish poetry and am the past Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Philosophy Journal Hermes.
Most importantly, I’m a husband and a father.
In addition to being a draftsman for Estates Law, Dylan McGuinty, Jr. is an published author and poet who believes in the power of literature to help shape the law, by shaping how people think about themselves, society and the law.
