Before practicing law, Carter trained as a mechanical engineer — a background that provides a unique advantage to our construction clients. His technical expertise allows him to analyze complex blueprints, interpret contracts with precision, and understand the risks inherent to engineering and building projects. This deep understanding enables him to effectively advocate for clients facing claims related to construction defects, professional liability, insurance coverage, and contract disputes.
Carter is a dynamic and persuasive advocate with trial experience before the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Our clients benefit from his strategic approach and clear communication in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, chamber applications, and trials. From the first meeting, Carter works closely with clients to fully understand their legal issues and define what success looks like for them. This client-centred approach is at the core of his practice, making him a tenacious and effective advocate.
Carter evaluates risks and rewards to craft legal strategies that clarify complex issues and secure favourable outcomes. He is open to collaboration and knows when to advance arguments tactfully or forcefully to protect our clients’ interests.
