Kevin Hanson is a former practicing litigator, with an especially strong knowledge of the legal profession and of the energy/electricity, construction, natural resource and manufacturing sectors.

He was communications director for a major forest-industry association in Vancouver before launching his consulting career there in 1999, working with one of Canada's leading communications agencies.

He established an independent consulting practice in 2004, based first in Vancouver and later in Toronto. In 2013, Kevin joined an association representing Ontario's electrical utilities, serving as communications director and corporate secretary during a pivotal period in that vital sector's evolution. He re-launched his own consultancy in 2015, working for two years from Ottawa prior to returning to a Vancouver base of operations in 2017.

His work is motivated by beliefs in the importance of infrastructure investment, of balanced and sustainable approaches to both natural-resource and urban development, and of improved access to justice.

Kevin is a graduate of Carleton University's School of Journalism (high honours) and of the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. He pursues ongoing professional development through his active involvement with the International Association of Business Communicators and other means.
