Greg Moores, St. John’s Partner, appointed King’s Counsel

Greg Moores, Partner in our St. John’s office, has been appointed to the King’s Counsel. The announcement was made this week by The Honourable Bernard Davis, Minister of Justice and Public Safety. This prestigious honour is awarded to those who have made exceptional contributions and shown remarkable merit within the legal community.

Greg earned his law degree from Dalhousie University in 1999. He was called to the Bar in Alberta in 2000, followed by Newfoundland and Labrador in 2004. Since joining Stewart McKelvey in 2005, he has built a distinguished practice in energy regulation, construction, and commercial litigation. His career highlights include representing clients before courts, regulatory bodies, and arbitration panels. Notable engagements include extensive involvement in the development phase of an East Coast offshore energy project, appearing at the International Court of Arbitration in Singapore and a policy advisory project in Sri Lanka focused on energy regulation.

An inductee of the Canadian College of Construction Lawyers, Greg is recognized for his expertise and commitment to the legal profession. He has also contributed extensively to his community, through volunteering as a Swimming Official during his daughters’ days with the St. John’s Legends and with organizations such as the United Way, the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Canadian Bar Association, and the Canadian Energy Law Foundation.

We congratulate Greg on this significant achievement.
