Theresa Arsenault, Q.C.

Theresa has a well established business and estate law practice and is highly regarded for her expertise with First Nations transactions and estate planning. She has extensive experience advising individuals and companies in these areas. She began practicing law in 1982, joined Pushor Mitchell in 1985 becoming a partner one year later, and has previously filled the role of Managing Partner for the firm.

Throughout her legal career Theresa has been very active in leadership roles in the community. She is currently Co-Chair of the Okanagan Partnership, Governor of the UBC Board of Governors and a member of the UBCO President’s Advisory Council. She is the author of a number of articles on estate planning, business law and First Nations transactions and is often sought out to speak on these topics.

Away from the office, Theresa enjoys local art, travel, wine and food, not necessarily in that order. To balance these activities, she keeps fit with pilates, running, cycling, dancing, and skiing. She is an aficionado of Canadian literature and history, and don't get her started talking about ideas once the wine has begun to flow!
