The firm was established by Ron Cook and Art Roberts in 1970. Since that time our growth has been carefully orchestrated by the addition of lawyers handpicked to augment our existing areas of practice. We have selected individuals who manifest the firm’s commitment to hard work, professional integrity and legal skill.

We recently merged with Alexander Greene, another long established and well respected law practice in Victoria. As a result, with 20 lawyers we are now the city’s largest law firm.

Our lawyers enjoy the support of an excellent staff of experienced and committed legal assistants, as well as a highly customized system of state of the art technology.

We occupy the 7th floor of the CIBC building in the epicentre of the city. Our premises have been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the members of our firm, as well as those of our clients.

Our lawyers are recognized leaders in their preferred areas of practice. Four of our lawyers have been distinguished with appointments as Queen’s Counsel. In addition, a number of our lawyers enjoy the Martindale-Hubbell AV rating which is based on peer lawyer evaluations. Our lawyers also participate in a number of important professional associations as outlined on their individual profiles.

At Cook Roberts we have specifically designed our legal services to apply well beyond the geographical confines of Victoria and Vancouver Island. Accordingly, we regularly represent clients throughout British Columbia, as well as in other provinces, the United States and abroad.

We enjoy a very diversified client base emanating both from the private and public sectors. We number amongst our clients, many of whom have been with us since the inception of our firm, individuals, family groups, closely held companies, complex corporate structures, Crown agencies and government.

Cook Roberts handles legal cases ranging from the relatively simple to the highly complex. The legal services we provide include cases involving land/business law, corporate law, estate planning and probate, trusts, bankruptcy and insolvency, family law, and government law. In addition to handling the litigation aspects of cases of this nature, our litigation department also handles disputes involving personal injury, fraud, wrongful dismissal, leaky condominiums, and construction law. Our litigators also regularly deal with cases involving administrative law, appellate practice, and constitutional law.

Our firm’s commitment is to handle each case, large or small, promptly, with care, professional integrity and legal skill in a cost-effective manner so as to achieve the best possible result for our clients.
