Faraz Ravanbakhsh

Faraz has a diverse background advising clients on various litigation issues. A significant amount of his expertise pertains to providing counsel on commercial and construction law matters, including contractual disputes, builder’s liens, shareholder disputes, and fiduciary duty disputes.

He routinely assists senior lawyers with complex commercial litigation files and has assisted with proceedings before all levels of court in British Columbia and Ontario, including the Supreme Court of Canada for multiple proceedings. Faraz has developed a keen interest in the analytical rigour required by appellate advocacy.

Outside of the office, Faraz is an avid soccer player. He spent 2 years as a BC premier level soccer player while attending Simon Fraser University and completing his undergraduate degree.

Faraz also takes pride in being active in the community. He works closely with First Nations in BC and spends his time volunteering at Potlatches and other Indigenous ceremonies. In 2016, Faraz was given the honour of being named an adopted member of the Musgamagw Dzawada’enuxw First Nation of British Columbia. This longstanding relationship with the Indigenous peoples of BC has fostered Faraz’s desire to continue building expertise pertaining to Aboriginal law, and he looks forward to serving Indigenous people in this respect.
