After 3 years of writing and editing, reading and re-reading many (MANY!) cases, late nights and long days, the text is finally here. It takes a team to write a book, and I truly thank our outstanding team at @ClarkWilsonLLP - I'm so fortunate to work with you. #EstateLitigation
Clark Wilson is delighted to announce Mark Weintraub, QC and @AmyMortimore, together with our Estates & Trusts Group, have authored a British Columbia focused estate litigation text, published by @LexisNexisCan. Learn more about the book and authors here: bit.ly/3hVycbT
