Clive Ngan is an associate with the Litigation and Dispute Resolution group in Fasken's Ottawa office. Passionate about assisting clients in navigating disputes and uncertainties with government and public sector bodies, he maintains a broad litigation practice representing clients across a range of industries.
Clive has experience working on matters involving complex regulatory, procurement, and commercial disputes, and has assisted on matters before the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, the Federal Court, Divisional Court, and Superior Court of Justice.
Clive brings a unique perspective to legal practice having served in various roles on Parliament Hill over a decade. Clive served as Judicial Appointments Advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada over a three-year period. During that time, the federal government appointed over 250 judges to trial and appellate courts across the country, including the Chief Justices of Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba, as well as two puisne justices to the Supreme Court of Canada.
As Legislative Affairs Advisor to the Chief Government Whip, Clive was tasked with advancing the government’s policy and legislative objectives through House of Commons committees, including implementation legislation for the Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement.
Clive graduated magna cum laude from the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law. He also holds a Master of Arts from the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, as well as a combined honours degree in Journalism and Political Science from Carleton University where he graduated with high distinction. As a law student, Clive earned the highest academic standing at the University of Ottawa in administrative law, trial advocacy, and international trade law.
In his spare time, Clive enjoys reading, cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and, as a (very) amateur home cook, trying new recipes.
