Brian Finnigan
Bio
Brian’s practice focuses on business and organization law, as well as estate planning and administration and real estate. Incorporating for profit and not-for-profit corporations and charities, dealing with business purchases and sales, establishing partnerships, and dealing with the day to day issues that affect businesses and organizations, such as employment issues, contracts, and records maintenance are all part of his practice. His estate planning and administration practice involves the preparation of Wills, Power of Attorneys, trust documents, as well as advising estate trustees on the administration of estates. Brian also deals regularly with First Nation issues, and represents First Nation members, businesses and organizations. Brian has practiced with the firm for over 30 years, and is part of its management committee.
Brian’s approach to the law is that lawyers are here to help clients achieve their goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Whether it is providing advice to an estate trustee, preparing a shareholder agreement, or helping a client buy or sell a house, his goal is to simplify the legal process for clients, instead of complicating it. He believes the law can be a tool to help you solve and avoid problems, not a costly obstacle in your way.
