Our People - Daniel Zhang | Counter Tax Litigators

Daniel Zhang, currently serving as an Articling Student at Counter Tax Litigators, brings a rich blend of global legal education and business acumen to our team. Holding an LL.M. from Osgoode Hall Law School and a Juris Doctor with First Class Honours from Bond University in Australia, Daniel has consistently demonstrated academic excellence. This is reflected in his multiple Dean’s Honour List recognitions and First in Class awards in Dispute Resolution, International Investment & Trade Law, among others.

With an M.B.A. from Brock University in Canada, Daniel has a firm grasp on the business and financial strategies that are pivotal for our clients—leaders of successful, mature private businesses and affluent families. His background as a financial analyst at an international financial institution and legal experience in China enriches his ability to navigate complex tax disputes that require a deep understanding of both financial intricacies and international law.

At Counter Tax Litigators, Daniel applies his extensive legal and financial knowledge to effectively support our clients in managing high-stakes challenges, aligning with our commitment to provide strategic, tailored solutions for the leaders of industry and their families.

I’m a Senior VP who has previously hired large law firms. I was referred to Counter to fix a tax dispute from the sale of an investment property I co-owned with two non-residents. I wish I hired Counter sooner.

- David Cuddy, Senior Vice-President, Finance & Business Operations, CFL

Counter worked smart and hard to help us win the appeal. We worked together to reorganize all the evidence, and we presented a clear and coherent case. We won and avoided roughly $600,000 in tax, penalties, and interest.

- Fred Levy, CPA, CA, LPA, MBA

Simply the best is how I would describe Counter Tax. They were on top of everything that CRA and the MOF were throwing at us, and kept us informed and well-advised on next steps. By the way, they won both cases.
