Civil disputes involving individuals, businesses, non-profits, or governments require practical legal advice, skilled negotiation, and risk management. Occasionally, disputes must be resolved in the courts. We have experience handling complex civil disputes through negotiation, mediation, and trial.

We advise employers and employees on all areas of employment law, including employment contracts, terminations, severance packages, human rights issues, fiduciary duties, policy manual development, and sexual harassment. We know employers and employees want fair, efficient resolutions to workplace disputes.

Business Law

Our lawyers have experience resolving business and commercial disputes involving breaches of contract, director and officer liability, fiduciary duty claims, shareholder disputes, commercial liability, fraud, injunctive relief, and other legal issues in the business and commercial law context.

Public Interest Law

We are proud of our advocacy and litigation work on behalf of victims of police violence, the LGBTQ2S+ community, survivors of sexual assault, substance users, unhoused persons, environmental groups, First Nations, community organizations, protestors, and political dissidents in furtherance of the public interest.

Administrative Law

We act for clients before tribunals and administrative bodies including the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner, the BC Coroner's Service, and the Human Rights Tribunal. We have been counsel at two public inquiries: the Davies Commission into the Death of Frank Paul and the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry.
