After verifying your email address, you will be able to submit your vote for as many, or as few categories as you’d like!

    Voting for the contest has already begun and continues until midnight on Monday, June 15, 2020.

    Prizes for the Voters

    The Victoria News holds their own giveaway for all of the voters. For everyone who votes for their favourite businesses, they’ll be entered into a draw to win 1 of 3 gift card packs valued at $100! This contest is subject to Victoria News’ rules and is done solely by them.

    Additionally, we’re hosting our own giveaway for voters! We’re giving away a brand new dash cam for your car and $150 to be spent at your favourite local business! All you have to do is like our Facebook post, comment which local Victoria business you’d spend the $150 on and tag a friend in the comments! A winner will be selected at random once voting for the awards has ended. We will announce the winner on our Facebook page at noon (PST) on June 16, 2020. This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.

  • Legal Stretch: Bringing Yoga to Vic West Park for a Good Cause

    Legal Stretch: Bringing Yoga to Vic West Park for a Good Cause

    Helena Mitchell is part of the League and Williams team working as a legal assistant with our lawyers.  At work she brings a can-do attitude, an attention to detail, and a commitment to client satisfaction.  She is a talented legal assistant who cares about her colleagues and our clients.  She is also a talented yoga instructor who, when she’s not supporting our lawyers to reach legal goals, is teaching others to reach fitness goals through yoga.  So as she was passing by Victoria West Park on her way to work one day, as the cherry blossoms were blooming and the Victoria weather was getting pleasant, her mind turned to summer and wandered to how nice it would be to do yoga in the park.

    Helena was pondering how close the park was to our office and how yoga has a number of physical and psychological health benefits, when the idea of benefiting a local resource that supports many of our clients, through yoga came to mind.  The firm decided to formally support Helena’s initiative.  Knowing the profound impact an acquired brain injury has on lives, and in particular on many of the lives of the clients of League and Williams, Helena reached out to the Victoria Brain Injury Society with her idea.

    The Victoria Brain Injury Society (Twitter: @VicBrainInjury) is an organization that provides support, education and advocacy to people with acquired brain injuries on Vancouver Island.  They provide a range of services and programs to their members and work to raise awareness of acquired brain injuries in British Columbia.  As a registered charity – the Victoria Brain Injury Society depends on donations to provide funding for the programs and services it offers to those it serves.  Consequently, when Helena reached out to the Victoria Brain Injury Society with her idea to lead a series of yoga classes in the park, they welcomed the opportunity to raise awareness about brain injuries in the community and to have funds raised for the programs and services they provide.

    League and Williams is proud to announce and support “Yoga in the Park – with Helena”, a series of yoga classes on Tuesday afternoons from noon to 1:00pm starting June 2, 2015 and continuing through August 25, 2015 (weather permitting) in Victoria West Park.  The classes are lead by our legal assistant and trained yoga instructor, Helena Mitchell.  Participation is by donation with the proceeds of the events going to the Victoria Brain Injury Society – just bring your mat and a donation and enjoy!

As an owner and manager of a medium-sized business I have relied on his timely advice for employment issues, insurance claims, domestic and international vessel purchases and other common business issues. He advice has always been been effective and he has always seemed genuinely interested in helping me see a problem though. When I haven’t been able to reach Darren, his legal staff are always caring and helpful. I have referred many people to him because I trust his advice.”

    – Tracy Ronlund-Neilson

    ” Our family business is very active in the seafood and marine industry. For more than 12 years Darren Williams has helped us with dozens of business and litigation matters, and always successfully. He understands the marine industry and the people in. He is easy to communicate with and often works late and on weekends to make sure our work is done and we are happy with the result. When he has not been available Emma his assistant and Karina his associate have always been pleasant and helpful. I recommend this law firm.”
