Lorne Richardson

I am a Vancouver-based lawyer with a practice focused on corporate, real estate, and estate matters. I advise businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals on complex legal and transactional issues, delivering practical, results-oriented guidance that supports both immediate decisions and long-term objectives.

My corporate practice includes advising on corporate structuring and restructurings, shareholder arrangements, and transactional matters such as mergers, acquisitions, and financing. I work closely with growing and established businesses to design and implement structures that are efficient, scalable, and aligned with their operational realities. In my real estate practice, I act on both residential and commercial transactions. I guide clients through purchases, sales, refinancing, and related matters, ensuring transactions are completed smoothly, efficiently, and with careful attention to risk and detail. I also assist clients with wills, estate planning, and administration. I work with individuals and business owners to put thoughtful, practical plans in place that protect assets, provide clarity, and ensure continuity across generations.

My approach to legal practice is informed by a multidisciplinary background spanning law, technology, and business operations. Prior to and alongside my legal career, I held leadership and technical roles involving team management, systems development, and complex operational problem-solving. This experience allows me to look beyond the immediate legal issue and provide advice that is not only legally sound, but also commercially effective and grounded in how businesses and individuals actually operate.

I take a pragmatic and collaborative approach to my work, recognizing that legal matters are rarely isolated from broader financial and operational considerations. I focus on delivering advice that is clear, efficient, and tailored to each client’s objectives, with an emphasis on anticipating risk, streamlining processes, and supporting confident decision-making.

At the core of my practice is a commitment to clarity, responsiveness, and trust. I build long-term relationships with clients by providing advice that is practical, timely, and aligned with what matters most to them—whether they are structuring a business, completing a real estate transaction, or planning for the future.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy staying active and engaged in the community, with interests that include hiking, skiing, travel, and fitness.
