Larlee Rosenberg

What Larlee Rosenberg does

Larlee Rosenberg, Barristers & Solicitors, is a Vancouver-based Canadian immigration law firm founded in 1993 by Peter Larlee and restructured as a partnership in 2009 between Larlee and Ryan Rosenberg, who currently serves as Managing Partner. The firm is structured as a private partnership with no parent company or institutional investment, operating from a single office at 1400 – 595 Howe Street in downtown Vancouver with approximately 21 total employees including 11 lawyers, case managers, and support staff.

The firm delivers professional legal services across four core practice areas: Temporary Status Services (work permits, study permits, visitor visas), Permanent Residence & Citizenship Services (Express Entry, provincial nominee programs, family sponsorships, citizenship), Litigation Services & Enforcement Issues (Federal Court judicial review, refugee claims, admissibility hearings), and Employer Immigration Services (LMIAs, intra-company transferees, compliance audits, workforce immigration strategy). It serves two parallel customer segments — employers managing cross-border talent acquisition and workforce planning, and individuals and families seeking Canadian immigration outcomes — across verticals that include technology, infrastructure/construction, engineering, education, resource/life sciences, and non-profits.

The business operates as a fee-for-service professional services firm. Initial consultations are priced between $375 and $750 plus applicable taxes depending on the lawyer assigned, with subsequent services documented in formal engagement letters upon retention. The firm does not offer technology products, AI/ML platforms, or proprietary software; its value proposition rests entirely on lawyer expertise, regulatory standing, and thought leadership distribution through media commentary, CBA/CLEBC speaking engagements, the Borderlines podcast, and the trumpugees.ca platform targeting US-resident immigration interest.
