Nixon Wenger LLP was founded in 1973 by Vince Dantzer, Don Wenger and Bill Wagner. Paul Nixon joined the firm in 1975 and established the future course of the firm.
Over the next twenty years the name of the firm changed from time to time to reflect the partners of the firm. Eventually the firm settled on the name Nixon Wenger, which became Nixon Wenger LLP when the firm became a limited liability partnership.
Nixon Wenger has had a number of offices over the years, but in 2010 the partners decided to construct a building of their own, pictures of which are featured throughout this website. Our new building provides a better working environment for our lawyers and our staff and a place we can call home.
To date, five of our lawyers have earned the “Queen’s Counsel” designation, two have become judges, one has earned his Masters of Law, and one has been the president of the British Columbia Trial Lawyers Association.
