FH&P Lawyers LLP can proudly trace its ancestry back in time to 1903 when John Ford Burne became the first Solicitor in Kelowna, two years before it was incorporated as a city in 1905.
Following several name changes since those early days, in 2014 our firm morphed into what we know today as FH&P Lawyers LLP. The initials are the first letters of the last names of the three senior partners that year, Doug Flannigan, James Herperger, and Rod Pacholzuk.
Today, the future continues to look bright with 23 practicing lawyers and many skilled paralegals and legal assistants. Our firm has offices in Kelowna, Penticton and Salmon Arm helping clients throughout the Interior of British Columbia. Our lawyers offer a full-service law firm practicing in over 25 different areas of law with a combined 375 years of experience.
