About Breder Law

Breder Law is a Vancouver law firm that focuses exclusively on animal law. Rebeka Breder founded the practice, and the firm describes itself as Western Canada's first firm dedicated entirely to this area. Rebeka Breder holds a B.A. Joint Honours degree and a J.D., and practiced at another large firm before starting Breder Law. The firm's site describes a combined experience of over 33 years in the animal protection movement and as a practising lawyer.

The firm takes on a wide range of animal related matters: dangerous dog designations, pet custody disputes that come up during separation or divorce, wildlife protection challenges against government decisions, veterinary malpractice claims, breeder disputes, and municipal bylaw challenges. It also advises on wills that provide for the ongoing care of pets and farm animals. Breder Law works with clients in other parts of British Columbia and across Canada, not only in Vancouver, and offers both hourly billing and unbundled legal services for people who want help with only part of a dispute.
