Shields Harney is a boutique commercial litigation firm formed in 1998 by John Shields and Greg Harney, with offices in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. Its lawyers handle disputes involving real estate, franchises, employment, intellectual property, and shareholder and partnership matters, often through arbitration and mediation as well as trial. The firm is structured as an association of independent law corporations rather than a traditional partnership, and each lawyer practises through, and is solely responsible for, their own corporation.
