Vancouver’s Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang is consistently referenced among market peers in the capacity of insurance, product liability, infrastructure and aviation, an area in which the firm has held a particular niche. Peers single out managing partner Christopher Hirst as being “someone worthy of consideration. He is taking on a good deal of the important work there now and becoming a lot more visible, which is impressive since he balances this with his management responsibilities.” Hirst is counsel for Tetra Tech Canada, the plaintiff in a $20 million claim arising from design services provided for the North Vancouver Waste Water Treatment Facility. Hirst is also counsel for the COWI North America, the defendant in a delay-and-damages claim brought by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Highways arising from a renovation project that includes safety fencing and expanded walkways on the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge.
