About

Brandon Carter is a business‑minded lawyer and senior executive who helps organizations navigate complex legal, people, and operational challenges with clarity and pragmatism. He currently serves as General Counsel and Vice President of Human Resources at Tri‑Mach Group Inc., where he works closely with executive leadership to manage risk, support growth, and align legal and HR strategy with business objectives across a multi‑entity organization. His role spans employment law, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions support, contract negotiation, regulatory compliance, and the design of scalable HR and governance frameworks. Prior to moving in‑house, Brandon practiced as a partner in private practice as a litigator, advising clients on various construction, corporate, and commercial matters. This background continues to inform his practical, solution‑oriented approach—focused not only on legal accuracy, but on advice that is operationally sound and commercially realistic. In addition to his executive role, Brandon is a Lecturer at the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University, where he teaches Business Law to undergraduate BBA students. His teaching focuses on applying legal principles to real‑world business scenarios, including contract formation, risk allocation, governance, regulatory compliance, and the legal considerations faced by founders and growing enterprises. He is particularly interested in helping students develop practical legal literacy and decision‑making skills that translate directly into professional and entrepreneurial environments. Brandon holds a JD from the University of Ottawa and a MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University and brings a strong appreciation for how legal and people decisions shape culture, performance, and long‑term enterprise value. He is especially interested in supporting leadership teams through periods of growth and change, and in modernizing legal, HR, and governance practices within complex organizations.
