Fraser Litigation Group is a leading Vancouver‑based boutique distinguished by its intellectual discipline and focus on high‑stakes commercial dispute resolution. Recognized as a “Highly Regarded” firm by Legal 500 and Best Law Firms, it stands at the head of the field for complex, often precedent‑setting matters.
The firm’s strength is anchored in the experience of its partners, who bring substantial “Big Law” backgrounds, including senior roles at national firms. This experience informs a practice that is both strategically rigorous and deeply attuned to the realities of litigation at the highest levels. The team regularly appears before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, and administrative tribunals across a range of industries and dispute types.
Fraser Litigation’s practice spans the full spectrum of commercial disputes, including real estate, trust, securities and corporate litigation, arbitration, mediation, and regulatory proceedings, as well as recognized strength in First Nations law, estate litigation, and insurance coverage matters. The firm is particularly noted for its role as referral counsel, frequently engaged by other lawyers to act as trial or dispute specialists in complex or high‑risk cases.
Its lawyers have been involved in shaping the law in British Columbia, including establishing appellate authority on trust, fiduciary duty, and securities law issues. The firm has a reputation for successfully resisting aggressive or unmeritorious litigation strategies and an ability to unravel complex legal and factual matters.
A defining feature of the practice is its multidisciplinary perspective on technically intricate disputes. Fraser Litigation combines the analytical depth and advocacy strength of a large firm with the focus and precision of a boutique, consistently delivering national‑firm outcomes at boutique‑firm cost.
