We are excited to share that we’ve officially launched our new Estates & Trusts Opinions and Appeals practice group. With over 125 years of combined experience in estates, trusts and elder law, we provide expertise in analyzing and understanding the law, developing and implementing strategies for litigation, and conducting all aspects of appeals in the British Columbia Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. We also offer advice regarding estate, trust, tax planning and administration, and work with clients and counsel to find creative and efficient solutions for complex transactions.
Whether you’re counsel looking for specific expertise or co-counsel assistance, or an individual wanting a fresh perspective on a case, our team is here to support you with robust service offerings covering all aspects of appeals, strategic counsel, and legal opinions.
Meet the team and learn how we can help here.
