Profile
Liv joined Watson Goepel in January 2023 as an articling student in our Business Group at our Vancouver office. He lived in the UK and USA for several years, where he earned his qualifications and gained valuable work experience before returning to Canada to build and grow his practice.
Before living abroad, Liv was active in both federal and provincial politics in Canada for more than 20 years. During this time, he held several leadership positions in various election campaigns. Naturally gravitating towards public service, Liv worked as a Communication Strategist intern in the Office of former Primer Minister of Canada, Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper.
Liv practiced as a Corporate Lawyer and In-House Counsel in New York City, where he was called to the Bar in 2019. In New York, he also obtained experience in a large private investment firm that provides capital and resources for businesses in various industries, including insurance, asset management, technology, sports, media, real estate, and the consumer sector.
Outside of his legal career, Liv was the Founder and Managing Director of his consulting firm, which focused on providing solutions through behavioural science.
In his free time, Liv enjoys traveling, listening to jazz, watching classic cinema, and reading about history
