He assists clients in understanding their security and surety positions and the range of enforcement options available in Manitoba to creditors anywhere. Matthew is a skilled negotiator, and he works with a team of enforcement professionals at Fillmore Riley to provide services to creditor clients efficiently and with the benefit of our institutional experience in this area.
