Karl Maier delivers thoughtful, creative solutions to people and businesses at all stages of life and development. The focus of his legal career is to support his clients’ decision making, to communicate clearly, and to show care for every person he meets. After working in both the private and public sectors in the Lower Mainland, he was excited to return to Vancouver Island to join the lawyers at Beacon Law Centre, to support their success, and to learn ‘at the feet of the masters’. He has not been disappointed – every day brings a new and welcome challenge.
