Derek Young

Derek Young practises exclusively as a litigator. He has represented clients at all levels of British Columbia's Provincial and Superior Courts, as well as before various provincial and federal tribunals.

His broad litigation practice includes commercial disputes, breach of trust and fiduciary duty claims, as well as debt recovery and other forms of creditors' remedies.

Derek takes pride in his candour and pragmatism, both of which have served him well in offering balanced and constructive counsel to his clients.
