After a decade with a major downtown firm and two years with a specialized construction litigation firm, Robert has joined Kovacs & Norell as an Associate.

Robert has a broad litigation experience, including commercial and employment litigation, strata and residential tenancies litigation, human rights matters, builder’s liens and construction disputes, and health care litigation, to name a few.  Robert has represented clients in the BC Supreme Court and Provincial Court and he has been involved in matters before the BC Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.  He has also represented clients before a variety of boards, tribunals and regulatory authorities, including the Human Rights Tribunal, the Information and Privacy Commissioner, the Workers Compensation Board and the Surface Rights Board.  In addition, he has acted as an adjudicator for an administrative tribunal.
