Lawyers & Notaries
Well-known Richmond firm, formally Pryke Lambert Leathley Russell LLP, in the Pacific Business Centre at Cooney and Ackroyd. Broad practice spanning business and commercial law, property deals, employment, wills and estates, family matters and litigation.
A firm broad enough to handle a lease this year and a succession plan in five is worth more to a business owner than a specialist who solves one problem and disappears. PLLR Lawyers, formally Pryke Lambert Leathley Russell LLP, works across business and commercial law, property deals, employment, wills and estates, family matters and litigation from the Pacific Business Centre at Cooney and Ackroyd.
Continuity is the practical benefit. Someone who already knows the shape of your company, your property or your family does not need the first two meetings explained again, and the second matter tends to cost less than the first for exactly that reason.
The office blocks around Cooney, Ackroyd and Minoru hold more of Richmond's professional life than the malls do, and almost nobody outside the city notices them. This is where the firms, notaries and accountants serving businesses and families on this side of the river actually sit, which means there is no need to drive downtown for a will or a purchase agreement. A good number of these practices have been in the same buildings for a very long time.
Cooney Road runs north to south just west of No. 3 Road, through mid-rise offices between Westminster Highway and Ackroyd, a short walk from Brighouse Station and Richmond Centre. Describe what you actually need before anyone quotes you anything. Legal work is one of the few purchases where being vague at the start reliably costs more at the end, and that first conversation is where the vagueness gets sorted out.
In the City Centre neighbourhood of Richmond.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside 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.
