Derek was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, and raised in Kelowna, British Columbia. He earned his Bachelor of Commerce (honours) from the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia in 2011. He went on to complete his Juris Doctor with Distinction at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law in 2015. Derek was called to the Alberta Bar in 2016 and the British Columbia Bar in 2017, and has been practicing law full-time ever since.

Derek joined Litco Law in 2016 after completing his articles and working as an associate at a national corporate law firm in Calgary. His background includes experience on both sides of personal injury law. He has previous experience working on behalf of the insurance companies and now represents injured plaintiffs. This allows Derek to understand how insurance companies strategize the settlement of claims, which he now uses to advocate strategically and effectively for injured Albertans, ensuring they obtain the best possible outcome.

As a lawyer at Litco Law, Derek’s practice focuses exclusively in the areas of personal injury, civil litigation, and alternative dispute resolution. Derek has experience with both Alberta and British Columbia accident claims, and is a member of both the Law Society of Alberta and the Law Society of British Columbia. Derek has appeared before the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, the Provincial Court of British Columbia, and the Supreme Court of British Columbia, along with numerous administrative tribunals.
