Derek Jonson practices commercial litigation. His practice includes contractual matters of all description, insurance matters, commercial tenancies, professional negligence, and builders liens.

Derek has a particular interest in construction and engineering disputes. He has been involved in major litigation in that field, on behalf of owners and contractors.

Derek has a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (University of Manitoba, where he was the gold medallist as top graduate in his class) and a Bachelor of Laws degree (University of British Columbia).
