Ben is a founding Partner and CEO of Mogan Daniels Slager LLP, believed to be Western Canada’s leading M&A boutique in the private small to mid-market by deal volume. Ben has over 20 years’ experience representing clients in M&A, private equity, angel and venture capital transactions, and a host of other complex business law matters.

Best LawyersTM named Ben “Vancouver’s Venture Lawyer of the Year” for 2022, and he has been named in Best LawyersTM in the M&A and Venture Capital categories for a number of years. • Ben is also an active angel investor, and is currently invested in over 20 early-stage companies in Canada and the US (with an industrial health, and medical tech/device emphasis). Ben serves on the Board (and as Chair) of a couple of these companies, and serves as an informal Board Advisor to several.

Ben is also a Co-Chair of the Vancouver Community of Tiger 21 (North America’s preeminent peer learning group for successful, active entrepreneurs who are stewarding personal wealth of $20MM and greater), now with 30 Members in Vancouver and over 1,200 Members world-wide.

As Ben is proud of saying, over the years he has worked on (and invested in) some of British Columbia’s largest – and some of its smallest – transactions. 

Lastly, Ben is an author of an odd and some say charming little book about a headless chicken (On Amazon: Flight of the Headless Chicken: Can Living from the Heart Give Chickens Wings that Work?), and claims that his greatest accomplishment in life has been identifying and securing his wife and life partner, Maureen, in grade 7, and then convincing her to stick with him through all of life’s winding roads (even after her many years of due diligence on him).
