Ken Smith and Rob Hughes set up the partnership of Smith & Hughes together in Vancouver in January, 1984 with the goal of serving the gay and lesbian communities. We were committed to using the law as a force for change. We observed the needs of many gays and lesbians were not being met through conventional law firms that were ignorant of, or insensitive to, our particular issues. In over 20 years in practice we have responded to the challenges of a growing AIDS crisis and been involved in advancing our communities' human rights and equality.
