Lawyers & Notaries
One of Richmond's larger general-practice law firms, on Commerce Parkway in east Richmond. Real estate and conveyancing, wills and estates, family law, business law and civil litigation all under one roof, with a second office in White Rock by appointment.
Buying a house, writing a will, and something going wrong inside a family or a business: those three account for most of the legal work an ordinary household ever needs. A general-practice firm covering all of it under one roof means not starting a new relationship from scratch each time one of them arrives. Cohen Buchan Edwards is among the larger such firms in Richmond, with a second office down in White Rock.
Conveyancing deserves specific mention because of how Richmond property works. A large share of the housing stock here is strata, and strata conveyancing involves document review that a straightforward detached sale never touches: depreciation reports, council minutes, special levies, the history of what a building has already had to fix and what it has quietly deferred. A firm doing this constantly in Richmond knows which buildings have a story and where to look for it.
The address is Commerce Parkway in east Richmond, out in the business-park belt toward the highway and the agricultural land. Most residents only see this part of the city when they have an appointment. Low office buildings, wide roads, very little foot traffic. For a law firm it is a sensible place to be, minutes from the highway, the airport and the Vancouver bridges, and calm enough that nobody arrives at a difficult meeting already frustrated. East Richmond generally handles the city's unglamorous work, and professional services out here fit that pattern as neatly as the warehouses around them.

The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
