Conor is proud to act as outside legal counsel for Tiny Tiny Homes. He is a lawyer, policy-maker, and producer living in Toronto, holding a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Alberta, an MBA from the Schulich School of Business and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School. Conor splits his time between work with the Government of Canada, creating cultural policy in international trade and copyright; producing and supporting the management of Bygone Theatre, a charitable theatre company; and running a law practice. In his law practice, Conor focuses on entertainment, culture, and non-profit/charity law.
Conor has always cared deeply about supporting and advocating for unhoused individuals, mental health, and addiction – a cause he inherited. Conor’s grandfather lived his life with schizophrenia and spent much of the last years of his life living in group housing and sharing his modest disability supports with those in the Edmonton area who went without. While Bob Fitzgerald passed when Conor was young, Conor saw his parents providing the same empathy and care throughout his life, with the understanding that society functions best when we share whatever extra we have. When Conor saw an opportunity to participate in a cause that would have direct impact with clear results, he had to be involved.
Conor lives with his wife, Emily, and dog, Frances, and when he’s not working is an avid consumer of all things cultural.
