Newhouse Strategic Counsel was founded by John Mavridis in 2005 in order to establish a platform for a more responsive approach to the practice of law. His experience in developing strategy for acquisitions and plans for concluding and integrating mergers have given him a high level of experience dealing in different fields and industries - but with one constant: the Client.

The Client who wants to build and wants to win. The Client who is demanding and recognizes that sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in. The Client who values judgment and independence. The Client is why we do our work and we are generally inspired by them. They are the leaders, entrepreneurs and builders that build companies and build wealth. We are proud to be part of it and our role is to advise, guide and protect them.

Since the foundation of Newhouse Strategic Counsel Inc., John Mavridis has participated in numerous transactions, including the acquisition and financing of a mine and the spin-off of a new mining company, both with equity and a secondary debt financing, the re-structuring and sale of the assets of a company under creditor-protection, as well as other securities and corporate finance mandates for publicly-listed companies and private investors.

With over $175,000,000 in financings and M&A transactions being closed in a two-year period, Newhouse Strategic Counsel has proven that it is a dynamic platform that can execute on a plan by putting together a team of professionals from our network which includes some of the brightest and hardest working lawyers and financial professionals from the top-tier firms in Toronto, Montreal, New York and London.

In addition, John Mavridis has served as a board member and advised boards and their individual directors on the various aspects of their responsibilities including the ever-developing challenges of board governance. Given this experience, and the interest that clients have in this subject-matter, John Mavridis, is currently enrolled in the Director Education Program of the Institute of Corporate Directors in order to further enhance the knowledge-base for Newhouse and better serve its clients.
