Why Work With Us?

Kelowna and Penticton are the jewels of the Okanagan as a four-season playground for both adults and children. In the summer, enjoy golfing, cycling, finding that breathtaking waterfall on a hike, or just simply sit on the beaches of Okanagan Lake to unwind. In the winter, ski one of the many world-class mountain resorts, then in the spring and fall enjoy a glass of wine on a patio at any of the renowned wineries.

FH&P Lawyers allows you and your family to experience all of that and more, promoting an outstanding work-life balance. We are proud of the fun-loving, hard-working culture we have developed and are not your typical stuffy law firm. We are a family-oriented firm and genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

Our firm is a highly desirable place to work with offices in the heart of downtown Kelowna and Penticton offering a truly Okanagan lifestyle. We are committed to the community around us, developing long-term personal and business relationships. As a matter of fact, some of our lawyers started as articling students and have never left. We are also a diverse group, able to help our clients in several different languages, including but not limited to French, German, Punjabi, Hindi, Mandarin and Cantonese.

We are rooted in community. Ready to help.
