Art has practiced in the construction law field since 1989 and has been counsel on major infrastructure, residential and commercial building projects. Like so many of the lawyers of his era, Art was part of the construction law bar that dealt with British Columbia’s “leaky condo crisis” that involved a massive amount of litigation. Art has advised owners on tendering and bidding issues and contractual disputes that have arisen during the course of construction. He has also drawn on his background in aboriginal law to provide advice to Indigenous developers or contractors on matters of construction law. Art co-authored the Canadian Law of Architecture and Engineering with the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, the 3rd edition of which was published in June 2020. |
