Services
Bernard Lau is the founding lawyer of Bernard Lau and Co. He practices in the areas of civil litigation, real estate law with an emphasis on non-strata property litigation, deposit forfeitures, and builders liens, in addition to his solicitor's practice in conveyancing, assisting clients with the purchase, sale and re-finance of their homes.
Real estate law matters often involve transactions with a great deal of money at stake. At the law office of Bernard Lau and Co., our team has worked extensively with all of the major chartered banks to handle your mortgage needs, as well as developed a strong network of legal professionals overseas to facilitate out-of-town signings in China, Hong Kong and the rest of the Asia- Pacific regions.
Bernard Lau and Co.'s litigation practice seeks satisfactory resolutions to complex problems through negotiated settlements or a successful outcome in court. While we strive to minimize litigation costs through alternative dispute resolution techniques such as negotiation, mediation or arbitration, clients can also count on Bernard Lau and Co. to confront litigious matters directly in court.
Every individual who owns assets or has a spouse or young children should have a will. The time that you spend with a lawyer planning your estate could save your spouse, children and other beneficiaries much time, effort and money. By not having a will, you lose the right to decide who will manage your affairs, who gets how much of your estate and when.
Our law office assists clients with the notarization of English and Chinese documents for use locally and overseas, including China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
We are able to assist in notarization for any documentation that requires a lawyer, a notary public, or a commissioner for oaths to witness, including travel consent forms, government documents, bank documents, ICBC and insurance documents, or personal documentation that requires legal and formal witnessing.For more information on the types of documents we notarize, please visit our location or contact our office at 604-285-5240.

Need a lawyer for an real estate transaction. Found Mr. Lau and his company based on internet reviews. Sure glad I did. From my first phone call with Oliver to follow up exchanges with Regine, to the last meeting with Mr. Lau, they were very professional, courteous, and helpful.
The entire process was a very pleasant experience.
Next time when I need a real estate lawyer, not nee to find a good one on the internet I have added their company to my professional services provider list.
Highly recommended.

Bernard,
Many thanks to yourself and your team for all the hard work demonstrated following the sale of our our property in Richmond BC and simultaneously helping us through with the purchase of our house in Summerside PEI!
We are duly impressed and appreciate the same. Bernard, just to say you have one fierce team. Then again, as a former senior executive for many years, I fully appreciate the importance of the fact that leadership always emanates from the top. You, Bernard, are in my books top notch and blessed with an incredibly sharp mind. Bravo, my friend, keep it up!
Best regards,
Janos

I want them to quote me a price by calling them many times and no answer. Finally when I get a reach of them after many attempts they quote me around 2200 to do the house purchase contract. However, later they message me said they no time to do my case after I communicated and wasted a whole week of time. I would give them 0 star for the most poor attitude towards customers. All customers deserves cheaper price as now the house price is getting more and more expensive. I am Tyson and want you know that the customer is the king not to be treated like trash.
