McCarthy Tétrault names Awi Sinha as Regional Managing Partner, Ontario
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Awanish Sinha as Regional Managing Partner, Ontario. He succeeds Caroline Zayid.
Awi’s appointment comes at a time of increasing complexity across markets, where clients are navigating rapidly evolving and often uncertain conditions. His practice has long focused on advising organizations in high-stakes situations where the path forward is not clearly defined, bringing a steady, strategic approach to complex commercial, regulatory and reputational challenges. His work advising on major projects and unprecedented macro-market challenges uniquely positions him for this role at this time to meet the evolving demands of sound judgment, adaptability and perspective.
“The future is relentless,” Awi said. “I’m honoured to have my partners’ trust at this critical moment of accelerated change. For 172 years, McCarthy Tétrault has helped clients navigate market disruptions and novel legal issues to make hard decisions in real time while managing risk and identifying opportunities. I am excited to serve in that tradition and work side by side with our clients for their consistent success in an environment of increasingly kaleidoscopic risk.”
Caroline has led the Ontario region since January 2024, and previously led the Firm’s national litigation and disputes practice. As Regional Managing Partner for Ontario, she focused on deepening client relationships, strengthening connections with alumni and supporting a professional environment to attract and retain the most talented lawyers and staff in Toronto.
“It has been such a privilege to lead the Toronto office and work with our exceptional team,” said Caroline. “Awi brings creativity, strategy and energy to everything he does. I can’t think of anyone better to represent us in the Toronto market at this critical time. As I return to litigation practice, I can’t wait to support Awi in this exciting next chapter.”
As the business and legal landscape evolves, McCarthy Tétrault is ready to provide the bold, pragmatic strategic advice our clients will require.
