Our Practice Areas
Commercial Real Estate
From single-asset acquisitions to multi-property portfolios, we advise developers, investors, lenders, public agencies, operating businesses, and institutional clients on commercial real estate matters across British Columbia. Our work spans acquisitions and dispositions, development, financing, leasing, and regulatory compliance.
Residential Real Estate
Few decisions matter more than the ones you make about your home. We provide clear, careful legal counsel on residential purchases, sales, financing, and leasing across British Columbia— for homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants alike, with bilingual service in English and Mandarin.
Corporate and Commercial
Most legal matters do not arrive in tidy categories. A property purchase needs a holding company. A small business needs a shareholders' agreement. A contract needs a careful set of eyes before it is signed. We advise on the corporate and commercial work that supports our clients' businesses, investments, and real estate holdings — from incorporations and joint ventures to contract review and trust structures.
Sophisticated counsel, close at hand.
Librus Legal is a boutique firm built on experience earned at some of Canada's leading law firms. We advise clients across British Columbia on real estate, corporate, and commercial matters — bringing the same diligence and discipline that complex, high-value files demand, with the responsiveness and direct involvement a boutique allows. Our practice is bilingual in English and Mandarin, and we take the time to understand each client's objectives, whether the matter is a single home purchase or a multi-property acquisition. The result is sophisticated counsel, delivered personally.
Albert Chen, Principal Lawyer
Born in Toronto, Ontario and raised in Richmond, British Columbia, Albert earned his law degree from Western University in London, Ontario, before practicing commercial real estate and corporate law for several years at a leading national firm and a leading global firm. He worked on complex, high-value files — from major acquisitions and financings to development, leasing, and corporate work.
​
He brings that experience to Librus Legal, serving clients across British Columbia with the discipline of a large firm and the close, personal attention of a boutique. Whether the matter is a first home purchase or a complex transaction, Albert believes the best relationships begin with listening. Tell him what you're working toward, and he'll help you get there with confidence.
