He is an experienced trial counsel, having appeared at all levels of the Ontario court system.
Van is recognized as a LEXPERT Canadian Leading lawyer in the areas of personal injury and commercial insurance.
In addition to his practice, Van has also taken up the position of Mediator.

Van believes an effective mediator is essential in maximizing the likelihood of success given the cost of litigation and delay in getting to a pre-trial let alone a trial. Van is taking this opportunity to gather his experience from years of practice and applying them to help resolve disputes in a timely, responsive and gratifying way.
