British Columbia Admiralty Lawyer
Maritime Law, or Admiralty Law, is regulated by the Federal Courts Act in Canada, which is the principal statutory law conferring the Federal Court with maritime jurisdiction. The British Columbia Supreme Court has concurrent jurisdiction in admiralty matters. As a result, our lawyers can choose the most appropriate forum in which to litigate on your behalf, as the respective courts provide varied procedural advantages. If you are facing this type of dilemma, consult with our Vancouver maritime lawyers who are experienced in litigating in Federal Court and British Columbia Supreme Court.
