About Chandler Fogden Lyman Law Corporation

Chandler Fogden Lyman Law Corporation is a small entertainment law firm in Vancouver, British Columbia, with its office at Suite 402, 1008 Homer Street in Yaletown. Doran Chandler and Kyle Fogden founded the practice in 2012 as Chandler Fogden Law Corporation, after each had already built an entertainment law career at other Vancouver firms; Fogden had also practiced music law in New York before returning home. A 2015 merger briefly turned the practice into Chandler Fogden Aldous Law. It took its current name, Chandler Fogden Lyman, in July 2023, when longtime associate Nathaniel Lyman, with the firm since 2015, was promoted to partner.

The firm's five lawyers work across film, television, digital media and video games, handling contract negotiation, intellectual property, production financing, talent representation and dispute resolution for producers, studios, writers, directors and developers. In October 2023 the firm added a dedicated video game and interactive entertainment practice, bringing on an of counsel lawyer who wrote one of the first textbooks on video game law in 2005 and an associate lawyer who has focused on independent game developers. Chandler and Fogden are both listed in the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory for entertainment law and in Who's Who Legal: Canada for sports and entertainment, and Chandler still guest lectures on entertainment law at UBC's Allard School of Law.
