Wasylyshyn loves the dynamic nature of the construction industry and takes pride in being knowledgeable in this complex area of the law. Proficiency and significant experience give Wasylyshyn the ability to find practical solutions, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and Builders’s Liens, to his clients’ legal problems. Finding the correct solution is a win win: Wasylyshyn develops life-long clients and his clients get preventative and strategic legal services that are focused on keeping companies out of timely and resource consuming litigation.
His longstanding reputation for integrity garnered Wasylyshyn the prestigious appointment in 2020 of Independent Supervising Solicitor by Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench. The role addressed a civil search warrant in a dispute between a construction company and its employees/shareholders. Wasylyshyn acted for neither party, instead he oversaw the execution of the warrant to ensure fairness to all involved in the dispute.
Wasylyshyn’s passion for Construction Law has grown and deepened over the years. Ogilvie reaching its 100 year anniversary in 2020 is due to team members like Wasylyshyn; dedicated to excellence for clients and working together in purpose.
