What Jenkins Marzban Logan does

Jenkins Marzban Logan LLP (JML) is a Vancouver-based boutique law firm operating as a limited liability partnership from Suite 900, Nelson Square, 808 Nelson Street, Vancouver, BC. The firm is staffed by 51-100 employees including approximately 23 lawyers and is organized around two anchor practice areas: construction law and family law. Adjacent practices include commercial litigation, insurance, mediation and arbitration, parenting coordination, indigenous development and infrastructure, and professional regulation and discipline. Equity and senior ranks include multiple King's Counsel designations — John Logan, K.C., Dinyar Marzban, K.C., Scott Booth, K.C., and the Honourable Robert Jenkins, K.C. — alongside managing partners Michael Dew and Scott Booth, and partners David McKenzie, Tyler Galbraith, Vanessa Werden, and David Volk.

The firm serves a mixed client base: construction-industry participants (developers, contractors, road builders, engineers, including named relationships with BC Road Builders and Engineers and Geoscientists BC), families in matrimonial and parenting matters, professionals facing regulatory discipline, and parties in commercial disputes, insurance matters, and alternative dispute resolution. Revenue is generated under the conventional professional services model of billable hours, with a disclosed mediation rate of $650/hour; ancillary revenue is generated through authored practice manuals and external recognition in Lexpert, Best Lawyers, Doyles Guide, and Canada's Best Law Firms 2026. Multi-jurisdictional bar admissions across Alberta, NWT, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Yukon extend service reach beyond British Columbia.

Underlying operational technology is standard legal-practice infrastructure: Microsoft 365 for productivity, iManage for document and matter management, and ActionStep for practice management, supplemented by an April 2022 partnership with Settify for digital client onboarding. There is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML capability. Strategic posture through 2022-2025 shows active scaling via new partner admissions, lateral associate hiring, vertical extension into Indigenous Development & Infrastructure, and a multi-jurisdictional growth push, partially offset by the judicial departure of partner Bill Veenstra.
