Clark Woods LLP

What Clark Woods LLP does

Clark Woods LLP is a full-service law firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia, serving clients across the province. The firm operates across eight primary practice areas — business law, estate litigation, family law, general litigation, personal injury, wills and estates, debt collection, and real estate — with sub-services such as residential purchases, sales, refinancing, co-habitation agreements, and builders liens. It serves three primary client segments: individuals and families navigating personal legal matters (divorce, custody, estate planning, personal injury), small and medium-sized businesses requiring transactional and dispute resolution support, and real estate buyers/sellers in Metro Vancouver.

The firm is co-founded by Guyle Clark and Josh Woods, both UBC law alumni, with a bench of approximately 10 lawyers and articling students plus paralegals, a conveyancing manager, a controller, and administrative support (22 total headcount). The technology stack is a standard legal practice management environment with no proprietary AI or specialized software disclosed; client-facing digital tools are limited to simple calculation utilities (Probate Fee, BC Child Support, Mortgage calculators) used as lead generation. Service delivery is consultation-driven with on-site, mobile, and off-hours options.

Revenue is generated through billable legal services on hourly or fixed-fee bases, with free initial consultations. Client acquisition is sales-led, relying on referrals from mortgage brokers, real estate professionals, and existing clients, supplemented by a digital presence across website, blog, social media (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn), and earned media. The firm holds no external investment and has made no disclosed acquisitions or funding rounds, operating as a bootstrapped regional professional services partnership.
