Doug Flannigan is a seasoned lawyer and partner at FH&P Lawyers LLP, with a legal career that spans over four decades. Doug has built an extensive practice focusing on a wide range of legal areas, including business law, estate planning, commercial securities, estate litigation, employment law, and more.

Doug's roots are in Western Canada, where he grew up before pursuing his law degree at the University of Manitoba. In 1978, he made his move to Kelowna and began his legal career with Fillmore and Company. Just a year later, in 1979, he was called to the British Columbia Bar, and the firm underwent a name change to Warren Ladner Berge. By 1982, Doug had become a partner as the firm evolved once more into Berge Bishop Purvin-Good and Flannigan, reflecting his growing influence and leadership.

Over the years, Doug has been instrumental in shaping the firm's identity and expanding its reach. After a series of transformations and rebranding efforts, the firm emerged as FH&P Lawyers in 2014, with Doug's last name—Flannigan—becoming the "F" in the firm's new name. His dedication and commitment have been a driving force behind the firm's success, and his reputation in the legal community is well-earned.
