    Out Riding

    5460849297_259b65bb94_b_web

    In late May , I read this on the website of a cycling magazine:

    You should ride your bike for 30 minutes every day.  If you’re too busy for that, then you should ride for an hour.

    Since I love cycling, and since I was too busy in April and May to ride for half an hour every day, I decided that I needed to get out and ride a bit more.  Vancouver’s excellent summer weather and the Tour de France in July provided some additional motivation – not that I really needed any.  I’ll get back to posting about law and dispute resolution in August! September! October!

    Like Shooting Fish In a Barrel (2 minute read)

    About a year ago, I wrote this piece about Canada’s new anti-spam legislation, often referred to as “CASL.” I mentioned that the new law has strict “unsubscribe” requirements, and that the fines associated with violating the legislation could be as high as $10 million for businesses. It appears we now have our first two reported penalties under CASL – courtesy of a popular dating website, Plenty of Fish (POF), as well as a lesser known company called Compu-Finder.

    Surface Rights and the Business of Law (2 minute read)

    kamloops small

    I will be in Kamloops on November 13 , 2014 to give not one, but two talks at the Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Law.  The first will be part of a first-year Property Law lecture on surface rights and mineral tenures , and the second will be a more general discussion about the “Business of Law.”  TRU has built a great law school and I am grateful to be invited to speak to the students and faculty about the kinds of cases that I handle, and the way that I have set up my new law office.

    Mailboxes

    Canada’s new “anti-spam” law  (“CASL”) goes into effect on July 1, 2014.  Those of you who use email or text messages to communicate  with customers will need to get consent from the people on your mailing list if you want to keep sending them newsletters, updates, and other messages after July 1.  If you use a mailing list, you need to sit down, clear your desk, and take the next 15 minutes to read this.

    The Ride to Conquer Cancer

    Mack Kirk 2013

    In 2012 and 2013, I rode in the BC edition of the Ride to Conquer Cancer. In 2013, I rode with the Mack Kirk Cycling Team.  The picture above is our motley crew, at the end of the ride.

    I decided to skip the ride this year, in order to focus on the creation of my new law office, and spend a bit more time with my family.  But even though I’m not riding, I encourage you to support the event and donate as much as you can afford.

    In the 7 weeks since I opened Hirji Law Corporation, I have met several new clients.  On a few occasions, people have asked me before our first meeting, “What should I bring with me?” – which is an excellent question, especially if you’re meeting a litigation lawyer for the first time.
