The team in Singleton Reynolds’ Vancouver office has, similarly to its Toronto twin, maintained an unwavering commitment to construction and surety industries. This office distinguished itself by having developed a notable depth and diversity of practice that at this point rivals or perhaps even surpasses that of its Toronto office. The practice breadth is exemplified by
David Edinger, now the Western Canada-based co-Managing Partner. Edinger is handling a case in which the plaintiff is a limited partner in an entity developing a concrete residential development in Port Moody, British Columbia. The project, which remains pre-construction, is estimated to have total land and development costs exceeding $CAD150 million. The plaintiff claims that Edinger’s clients, general partners in the project, have engaged in self-dealing, have negligently mismanaged the limited partnership's capital, failed to sell the project when they should have, failed to honor an extraordinary resolution removing them as the general partner and have caused loss and damage to the plaintiff. Robert Moore is cheered by a client as being “well versed in construction litigation” and “understanding the issues associated with our matters.” Moore and
Clive Boulton provide the defense in a matter in which the plaintiff was involved in a rear-end accident and alleged that she had suffered a concussion in the accident which resulted in significant ongoing symptoms and demanded an amount beyond policy limits. The court found that the plaintiff did not in fact suffer a concussion and that her symptoms were largely an aggravation of pre-existing psychological conditions, and awarded damages well within policy limits.
Stephen Berezowskyj continues to enjoy a reputation buoyed by peer and client commendations. One client addresses Berezowskyj as a “solution-focused lawyer [who] doesn't litigate just for the sake of litigation and [is] always looking for ways to efficiently resolve matters.”
