 George Mouzourakis - Biography
 Background
George Mouzourakis is a senior lawyer. George was admitted to the British Columbia bar in 1985. He is a graduate of the University of British Columbia Law School with a Bachelor of Laws in 1984 and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia in 1977.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, George developed property, fished for halibut while in law school, served as a policeman and then as an army officer with a Highland regiment. George likes to use this broad background for the benefit of all who seek his counsel.
George is not only knowledgeable but, more importantly, very accessible to people from all walks of life either by telephone, email or in person. George will always try to steer people in the right direction if he cannot help them directly.
Professional Experience
George Mouzourakis is a fully qualified trial lawyer. For the last 25 years George has gained extensive experience both as a barrister and a solicitor. In his first 10 years at the bar, George has assisted clients with matters in the following areas of practice:
- Criminal Law: George appeared as Duty Counsel in all the Lower Mainland Provincial Courts - including Youth Court; and, on occasion as Ad-hoc Crown Counsel. He has also argued Criminal cases in the Superior Courts and the Courts of Appeal of this province;
- Wills and Estates: The preparation of wills and the probate of estates;
- Real Estate: Experience with both residential and commercial real estate transactions on behalf of vendors, purchasers, lessors, lessees and others;
- Business Law: George incorporated companies, handled the purchase and sale of small businesses; drafted and reviewed various types of contracts and advised clients in business problem avoidance;
- Civil Litigation: George appeared in the Provincial, Superior and Courts of Appeal and in Federal Court to handle anything from small claims contract disputes to major personal injury claims.
For the next 15 years George narrowed his areas of practice to the following:
- Civil Litigation: major personal injury claims; major long term disability claims; major estate disputes and major contract disputes. His preferred method of trial is trial by jury and, as a result, George has extensive knowledge and experience in preparing cases for trial and negotiating fair out-of-court settlements for his clients. For multi-million dollar claims, George will assemble a team of lawyers to ensure that his clients will have the best opportunity to succeed.
