About Bright Law

Bright Law, formally Arash Ehteshami Law Corporation, is a Vancouver, British Columbia firm that practices exclusively in residential and commercial tenancy law. Its office sits at 300, 171 Water Street, and the firm describes itself as one of the few law firms in the province devoted entirely to this one area. It represents landlords, tenants, and property managers through every stage of a dispute, from drafting a notice to end tenancy through Residential Tenancy Branch hearings, judicial review at the BC Supreme Court, and enforcement of the resulting orders. The firm's original brightlaw.ca domain now redirects to its current site at bctenancylaw.ca, though it still uses a brightlaw.ca email address.

The firm says the vast majority of its matters are resolved without the need for a court hearing. It has still taken RTB decisions through the BC Supreme Court and, in one file, on to the BC Court of Appeal, and says decisions it has argued have gone on to be cited in the Residential Tenancy Branch's own policy guidelines. Consultations run 30 or 60 minutes, in person, by phone, by WhatsApp, or over video, and the firm offers fixed fee arrangements for hearings and applications once it has assessed a file.
