Roger Lee

Roger Lee, a vital part of his firm's litigation team, excels in handling a wide array of estate litigation cases. His expertise isn't confined to this area alone; he's equally adept in navigating general commercial litigation battles, including those revolving around forestry, construction, land issues such as leases, and efforts to recover assets lost to fraud.

Ever since he began his legal journey, Roger has carved out a significant niche in trust and estate litigation. He offers guidance to individuals and charitable organizations on their entitlements under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act's wills variation provisions. He tackles estate administration quandaries and disputes over the legitimacy of wills and other testamentary documents. His clientele includes both corporate and individual trustees and personal representatives, advising them on their legal responsibilities. Furthermore, he represents beneficiaries who challenge the decisions made by executors or the trustees overseeing their trusts.

Roger's proficiency extends to resolving construction disputes, where he represents owners, insurers, and contractors. His involvement covers a spectrum of issues from builders liens and design negligence to general construction flaws and the processes for their rectification.

His advisory role spans to forestry-related legal matters, particularly addressing rate disputes between licensees and contractors.

Beyond these specializations, Roger's legal acumen covers a broader scope of commercial litigation. This includes tackling commercial and mortgage fraud, resolving lease disputes through arbitration, and addressing other land-related conflicts. His experience also includes serving as the independent supervising solicitor for several Anton Piller injunctions.

Roger's courtroom experience is extensive, having represented clients across all provincial court levels. This includes family, small claims, and criminal courts in British Columbia, the British Columbia Supreme Court, the British Columbia Court of Appeal, and even the Queen’s Bench of Saskatchewan.

Admitted to the British Columbia bar in 1994, Roger's legal education was completed at Dalhousie University, where he earned his LL.B. in 1993, following a B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 1990. His practice not only showcases his legal prowess but also underscores his commitment to providing nuanced legal advice across a broad spectrum of litigation areas.
