Kmk Law Corporation

What Kmk Law Corporation does

KMK Law Corporation is a privately held boutique law firm founded in 1999 by Ken M. Kramer, K.C. and headquartered in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm specializes exclusively in estates, trusts, estate administration, estate litigation, elder law, and mediation, with a particular focus on serving families and individuals whose members have physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities. Its core service offerings include will preparation, trust creation (including Henson-type discretionary trusts designed to preserve eligibility for BC's Persons with Disabilities benefits), representation agreements, powers of attorney, estate administration, and estate litigation. The firm operates from a single office at Park Place, 666 Burrard Street.

The firm does not operate a technology platform or proprietary software; its underlying capability is practitioner expertise and domain knowledge at the intersection of BC trust law and provincial disability assistance policy. To support client onboarding, KMK provides five downloadable PDF intake questionnaires (Will Instruction, Trust Instruction, Power of Attorney, Nomination of Committee, and Representation Agreement) on its website, alongside educational blog content, webinars, and in-person workshops.

KMK generates revenue solely through professional fees for legal services, typically billed on an hourly or fixed-fee basis per matter following an initial consultation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: co-hosted educational workshops and webinars with disability-focused organizations (PLAN Institute, FSI Learning Exploration, BACI, Delta Community Living Society, Community Living Society, Technology for Living) drive referrals and word-of-mouth acquisition. The team consists of three lawyers (founder Ken M. Kramer, K.C., associate Audrey Jun, and associate Edward Ngo) and the firm serves BC residents exclusively.

Broad incumbents

• Clark Wilson LLP: Vancouver-based full-service law firm with a trusts and estates practice. Operates in the same BC geography as KMK Law but as a broader incumbent offering across multiple practice areas, including overlapping will, trust, and estate planning services.
• Borden Ladner Gervais LLP: Canada's largest full-service law firm with an estates and trusts group including BC offices. Competes for higher-end estate planning mandates but as part of a much broader practice portfolio, not a niche disability-focused offering.
• Lawson Lundell LLP: Vancouver-based full-service commercial law firm with a recognized wills and estates practice. BC-based incumbent providing overlapping estate planning services but as part of a much wider corporate, real estate, and litigation portfolio.
• McCarthy Tétrault LLP: One of Canada's largest national law firms with a private client and trusts practice. Represents the broad-incumbent tier offering estate planning across multiple provinces, including BC, but does not specialize in disability-focused niche.
• Alexander Holburn Beaudin + Lang LLP: Vancouver-based mid-size full-service law firm with a wills, estates, and trusts practice. Local incumbent operating in the same BC market as KMK Law but with a broader practice portfolio spanning commercial, real estate, and personal injury law.
• Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP: Major Canadian full-service law firm with a private client services group including estate planning. National incumbent competing for high-net-worth estate mandates in BC and beyond; not specialized in disability community focus.

Regional players

• Hull & Hull LLP: Toronto-based boutique law firm specializing in estates, trusts, and elder law. Operates a similar boutique model focused on estate-related services but serves an Ontario client base rather than BC, making it a comparable regional peer rather than direct competitor.
• Carters Professional Corporation: Ottawa-based boutique law firm specializing in charity, not-for-profit, and trust law. Comparable in boutique size and niche specialization to KMK Law, but Ontario-based with a different practice focus (charity/NFP law) rather than disability estates.
• Whaley Estate Litigation: Toronto boutique law firm focused exclusively on estate, trust, and capacity litigation. Similar boutique, specialized positioning to KMK Law's estate litigation practice, but Ontario-based and more narrowly focused on litigation matters.

Others

• Thorsteinssons LLP: Vancouver-based tax law boutique serving high-net-worth clients with complex tax planning needs that often intersect with estate and trust planning. Adjacent to KMK Law's planning practice but focused on tax controversy and corporate tax rather than disability-focused estates.
