Brian Vickers

Founding Partner

I was born and raised in Abbotsford, where I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and community at an early age. Growing up, I played baseball with the Abbotsford Cardinals, and with the support of my family, coaches, and community, I went on to compete for universities across Canada and the United States before enjoying a brief professional baseball career.

 

After my time in professional sports, I returned to British Columbia to pursue a career in law. I earned my Juris Doctor from Thompson Rivers University in 2014 and was called to the British Columbia Bar in 2015.

 

Since beginning my legal career, I have built a strong reputation as an advocate both inside and outside the courtroom. From early in my practice, I successfully ran trials in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and now conducted numerous successful appeals at the Court of Appeal. Throughout my career, I have obtained extensive experience in litigation and strategic dispute resolution. I am committed to providing practical, results-oriented advice while advocating confidently for my clients in the courtroom when litigation becomes necessary.

 

My practice encompasses a broad range of civil litigation and advisory work, with particular experience in:

 

  • Commercial Litigation and Business Disputes

  • Construction and Real Estate Law

  • Civil Litigation

  • Employment Law

  • Wills and Estates Litigation

  • Personal Injury

  • Defamation

 

Throughout my career, I progressed from associate to partner within a few years. I became a named partner shortly after and am now the founding partner of Vickers Law Group. My focus is on helping clients throughout Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and the Fraser Valley with complex legal matters. I understand that legal issues often arise during some of the most challenging times in a person's life or business, and I strive to provide clear advice, practical solutions, and responsive service tailored to each client's objectives.
