About 606 Essex Chambers Law Corporation

606 Essex Chambers Law Corporation is a commercial and corporate law firm at #401, 4211 Kingsway in Burnaby, British Columbia. Founder Christopher Chen has practiced law since 2012, first in the United States and then in Canada, and is licensed to practice in British Columbia and Illinois. Chen holds a JD from Washington University in St. Louis and a BA from the University of British Columbia, and worked at a large firm in St. Louis, another in Taipei City, as in-house counsel for a venture capital fund in Taipei, and at a smaller Vancouver litigation firm before founding 606 Essex Chambers. Earlier still, Chen worked as a tax accountant at two Big Four accounting firms, a background that feeds directly into the firm's tax litigation work today.

The team practices commercial litigation, general corporate work, and tax litigation, and several lawyers speak Mandarin or Korean in addition to English; the firm's site is available in English, Chinese, and Korean. Commercial litigation covers breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and shareholder disputes. The corporate practice handles mergers and acquisitions, incorporations, and governance work, while the tax practice represents clients through CRA audits, reassessments, objections, and appeals.
