About Chan-Gallivan Law Professional Corporation

Chan-Gallivan Law Professional Corporation is a small, one-lawyer practice based in Oakville, Ontario. The firm's name combines two surnames associated with its founder, Angeline Gallivan, who also practices professionally as Angeline Gallivan Chan. Gallivan earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center in 2016, graduating cum laude in the top 15 percent of the class, along with a second Juris Doctor from the University of Calgary the same year and a University of Calgary psychology degree with distinction in 2013. After law school, Gallivan completed the Law Society of Ontario's Law Practice Program, training in seven areas of law, and worked at firms in Toronto and Calgary before opening the Oakville practice.

The firm is licensed to practice in both Ontario and Texas and belongs to the Canadian, Ontario, and American Bar Associations. Its lawyer is also a registered Trademark Agent with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and a U.S. attorney, handling trademark filing, prosecution, and infringement matters on both sides of the border. Chan-Gallivan Law added real estate law to its Oakville practice in 2019, rounding out a general practice that also covers business law, family law, wills and estates, and notary and commissioner of oaths work. Citing Oakville's growing immigrant community, the firm offers its services in Mandarin as well as English.

The neighbourhood

Chan-Gallivan Law's Oakville office sits in a business park along the QEW's North Service Road, in a building of shared, serviced office suites rather than a traditional street-front storefront. That setup fits a small, appointment-based practice: the firm asks new clients to book a free consultation through its site or by phone rather than walk in, and its office keeps regular weekday hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
