We have deep roots in the community.
Originally founded in 1993, Ron Nairne joined Ambleside Law’s predecessor firm in 2020, inspired by his deep roots in the West Vancouver community where he grew up. Over the past 35 years, Ron has represented clients in and out of the courtroom from all regions of B.C., Canada and beyond, and now serves as managing partner at Ambleside Law. He gives back to the community as a board member for the Ambleside and Dundarave Business Improvement Association, and for Enhance West Van—a registered charity supporting enhanced programming at the West Vancouver Community Centre.
Many members of the team live, work and play on the North Shore, participating in the community with their families and loved ones. The firm is also a longtime sponsor of the Kay Meek Arts Centre, a home for great art experiences and community gathering in an inspiring and inclusive environment. Ambleside Law’s community involvement also extends to Access Pro Bono, the Rotary Club of Squamish, Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue Station 1 – West Vancouver, and the West Vancouver Yacht Club.
