| Description | David Mulroney obtained degrees in English and Law from the University of British Columbia in 1977 and 1980. He has been practicing law for 36 years and currently heads Mulroney & Company, established in 1992 (now a division of David Mulroney Law Corporation). He has been married 40 years and has four children, one of whom, Michael, has joined the firm as an associate with emphasis on tax law.David articled in 1979 as a summer law student for Wilson, King & Company, at that time a firm of 17 lawyers and one of the province’s oldest law firms, then became an associate with the firm in 1981 doing general litigation. In 1984, he became a partner and did litigation involving corporate, commercial, construction, personal injury, banking, foreclosure, builders liens, municipal, injunction and estate matters. The bursting of the 1981 real estate bubble lead to huge litigation work on MURB tax shelters, asset seizures, guarantee litigation and foreclosures. David’s firm was counsel to two Canadian major chartered banks, so David was in court a lot. He also acted for ICBC and other insurance companies doing defence work in both personal injury and property damage cases. He acted for a major oil company, obtaining an injunction forcing the reopening of a gas well against Petro-Canada (who later became a loyal client) and he obtained injunctions against parties who blockaded loggers and blockaded a sawmill. All dealings with those opponents had been respectful, despite the injunctions obtained, and David was later approached to act for the other parties, but had to decline due to a conflict.In 1988, David moved to Victoria and became a partner at Jones, Emery, a ten lawyer firm and worked in litigation involving corporate, commercial, construction, personal injury and estate matters. He again acted for ICBC, as well as doing personal injury work for plaintiffs. He also acted for a prominent developer suing reluctant investors on their personal guarantees for investments in tax shelter real estate developments that had not gone as well as expected. He acted for another developer to obtain an injunction in relation to valuable inner harbour lands when one developer "forgot" his partner momentarily.In 1992 David set up his own law firm carrying on his civil litigation practice in Victoria. From 1995 to 2005, in addition to carrying on his regular practice for private sector clients, Mr. Mulroney was the standing agent for the Attorney General for Canada for prosecution in Greater Victoria of Income Tax, Narcotics, Fisheries, Immigration and various other offences. Mr. Mulroney personally obtained convictions in drug prosecutions before juries and also successfully prosecuted a drug conspiracy wiretap trial against six accused where the trial took 60 court days spread over many months. Mr. Mulroney and the lawyers and staff employed by him were responsible for approving charges and prosecuting over half of all drug and tax cases in the Greater Victoria Region, including Saanich Peninsula and the Western Communities, for a decade. He resigned this prosecution work to run as a candidate for MP in the 2006 Federal Election.David’s firm presently handles a full range of complex and contested matters including Professional Defence before regulatory bodies, insurance claims, income tax defence, Wills, Estates and Trusts litigation, business litigation, construction disputes, real estate litigation, administrative law, defending or advancing human rights, harassment or discrimination claims, civil remedies, arbitration, Municipal law, environmental litigation, investment analysis (legal aspects), and employment and dismissal. In administrative or disciplinary proceedings concerning regulatory bodies, David has represented lawyers, police officers, real estate developers, teachers, a principal, an immigration consultant, a pharmacist and various other medical professionals in discipline matters. David has represented a lawyer wrongly accused of fraud by the Law Society of BC and obtained dismissal of all allegations and an award of over $60,000.00 in costs against the Law Society of BC.David also handles difficult negotiations behind the scenes for his clients, drafting letters and emails and advising on positions, so opposing parties or regulatory bodies may not be aware that a lawyer is involved. This proactive early approach often avoids disputes or ensures much better outcomes. He has taken this approach with health care professionals when defending against patient complaints to the relevant college, several times obtaining resolutions before citation so as to avoid the obligation to publish the complaint outcome, or obtaining negotiated resolutions which admit no wrongdoing whatsoever.David has also served as the President of the Friends of the Royal B.C. Museum, a member of the Board of Directors of the Royal B.C. Museum appointed by the Minister of Small Business, Tourism and Culture, and vice-chairman of the Royal British Columbia Museum Foundation. David has also served as Chair for the Victoria Wills and Trusts subsection of the Canadian Bar Association.
