Miller Thomson is pleased to welcome Gordon Van Vliet<\/a> as a Partner in the Firm\u2019s Real Estate Transactions and Leasing<\/a> group, effective July 7th. Based in Calgary, Gord brings 25 years of experience advising public and private developers on complex commercial real estate matters in Alberta and British Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His practice includes land development, acquisitions and sales, leasing, co-ownership structures, secured lending, construction, and municipal planning. His arrival consolidates the Firm\u2019s ability to support clients with real estate projects across Western Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is particularly recognized for his work on complex mixed-use condominium projects that require close coordination between residential and commercial components. Gord also advises companies on broader legal and business matters such as entity structuring, risk management, dispute resolution, and tax planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGord joins us at a time when we\u2019re growing this team with intention, to meet the market\u2019s demand for sharp, responsive advice,\u201d says Jay Hoffman<\/a>, Chair of the National Business Law Group at Miller Thomson. \u201cOver the past few years, the real estate landscape has changed significantly. It\u2019s a time of important shifts that bring new opportunities but also require strategic and experienced legal support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miller Thomson also welcomed Ciaron Czajkowski<\/a> to its Real Estate Transactions & Leasing group on June 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
