Civil Litigation

Pun & Jiang Law is a Richmond, BC law firm that can handle business disputes, debt recovery, contract, construction, real estate, and foreclosure matters.

A legal dispute can disrupt your business, your finances, and your peace of mind. Whether you need to assert your rights or defend yourself against a claim, Pun & Jiang Law can help you work toward a resolution, outside the court system where possible, and in court when necessary. Our litigation team handles a full range of civil disputes, including:

Shareholders’ Disputes

When business partners or shareholders disagree, the business itself can suffer. These disputes often involve control of the company, access to financial records, payment of dividends, buyouts, or one owner acting against the interests of the others. We help owners understand their rights under their shareholders’ agreement and the law, and work toward a resolution that protects both the business and your investment, whether that means a negotiated settlement or a court application.

Debt Collection

If someone owes you money and will not pay, you have options beyond repeated phone calls and emails. We can start with a formal demand, negotiate a payment arrangement, or bring a court claim to recover what you are owed. We also help clients enforce judgments they already hold. If you are on the other side of a debt claim, we can review whether the amount is actually owed and defend you against claims that are overstated or unfounded.

Contractual Disputes

Most business and personal dealings run on agreements, and disagreements arise when one side says the other did not do what was promised, or when the parties read the same contract differently. We help clients interpret what their contract actually requires, assess whether a breach has occurred, and pursue the appropriate remedy.

Real Estate Disputes

Real estate transactions involve large sums of money and tight timelines, so when something goes wrong, the stakes are high. We handle disputes over failed or delayed completions, deposits, property condition and misrepresentation, and title issues. Whether you are a buyer, seller, or property owner, we can help you understand your position and take the right next step.

Foreclosures

When mortgage payments fall behind, a lender may start a foreclosure proceeding to enforce its mortgage and sell the property. If you are a lender, we can guide you through the court process to enforce your security. If you are a homeowner facing foreclosure, we can explain your options, which may include bringing the mortgage current, negotiating with the lender, or defending the proceeding. Because foreclosure in BC is a court-supervised process with strict steps and deadlines, it is important to get advice early.
