After several years of working for a prominent law firm, Shane decided to strike out on his own and start his own law firm – GP Law – in 2019.  He has specialized in family law for nearly a decade.  He has extensive litigation and trial experience and regularly appears before the Alberta Court of Justice and the Court of King's Bench of Alberta.

Outside the courtroom, Shane is well-versed in preparing and providing independent legal advice on a wide range of family law agreements.  He encourages and regularly attends lawyer-assisted mediation and settlement conferences.  As a professional advocate, he thrives on working with clients to provide direction on family law matters, whether a litigation model or negotiated settlement model is being used.

In addition to his work as a lawyer, Shane is deeply committed to his community.  He dedicates time to pro bono work as a Volunteer Family Lawyer with Calgary Legal Guidance.

Recognizing the potential for growth and development in his hometown, he became actively involved in the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce.  His leadership skills and vision for local economic prosperity propelled him to the position of Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce.  He is grateful to represent the Chamber in the City he grew up in and is committed to fostering relationships between local businesses, promoting entrepreneurship and attracting new investments to Airdrie and the surrounding area.

Outside of his legal and community endeavors, Shane is a devoted husband and father.  He enjoys spending quality time with his family, friends, running, hiking, traveling, photography, and playing tennis, hockey and soccer.  He wears the No. 7 shirt for Real Sasquatch SC in the CUSA League and is an avid supporter of Chelsea FC and Forge FC and a lifelong Flames fan.
