BKS Law Corporation is a small law firm in South Surrey, British Columbia, working out of Suite 309 in the Ocean Pointe building at 1688 152nd Street, on the border between South Surrey and White Rock. The firm traces its history to 1974, when it started as Brawn Karras Sanderson Barristers and Solicitors before adopting its current, shorter name. Two lawyers currently practice there, Kim Karras and Michael Polacco, and clients deal directly with them rather than being routed through layers of associates.
The firm practices in four areas: wills, estates and trusts, corporate and commercial law, family business advising, and real estate and conveyancing, and keeps a separate email address just for conveyancing and real estate files. Karras, the firm's principal, was called to the bar of British Columbia in 1986 and holds the Trust and Estate Practitioner designation from the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, awarded in 2002, along with training as a Family Enterprise Advisor completed through the Sauder School of Business in 2015. That combination points the estate and business succession work toward family run companies working through a transition.
