I have a residence in the United States, a condominium in Whistler  (which I may wish to sell) and am purchasing a condominium in Coal Harbor.  I plan on conducting business as a Practitioner of Foreign Law in YVR.
I would like to (1) know how best to minimize the taxes I must pay in 
Canada and the United States and (2) form relationships with attorneys 
in BC which may have complimentary practices (we focus on commercial, 
securities, personal injury, employment and malpractice litigation).
Look forward to hearing from you.  Thanks.

I am not an attorney and most of the attorneys I deal with practice immigration law.  However, Greg Samuels is an excellent attorney in terms of personal injury between Canada and the United States.  He would be a good person to start with and his phone number is (604) 742-4242.  His email should be [email protected]. Greg's wife Melanie is also a lawyer with a major firm in dowtown Vancouver and she specializes in Canadian Immigration and could likely help you.
David Stoller is another lawyer who has done some employment litigation and his number is (604) 922-4702 - email is [email protected]. He also practices Canadian Immigration Law and could help you..
David Anderrsen is the president of PACE at [email protected] and www.pacebordertrade.org.
"ANYBODY" interested in cross border issues should belong to PACE. And David also specializes in US immigration law.
