The Firm

Gyawali & Co. is a civil litigation law firm, working on both public and private law matters. We have a particular expertise in health law, privacy matters, indigenous/aboriginal law, passenger transportation, and employment and human rights.


In addition to representing individuals and businesses, we consult for other legal professionals, particularly on complex litigation matters. 

The Lawyers

Selina Gyawali and Taylor Clarke have over 20 years of practice and are skilled and practical lawyers. 


We are confident and at home in the Courtroom (having been counsel in two of BC’s lengthiest modern trials: Cambie Surgeries and Cowichan Tribes) as well as outside of it (having extensive experience settling difficult matters out of court).
