Where Law Meets Strategy
At LVMS Lawyers and Associates, we are a results-driven, full-service law firm (excluding criminal law), offering practical legal solutions. Whether you’re managing a business transaction, resolving a family matter, addressing a tax issue, or facing a legal dispute, we focus on one thing: getting you to the finish line—efficiently and effectively.
What Sets Us Apart
Led by Vivian T. Lao, a dual-qualified lawyer and CPA, our firm brings deep expertise from both the legal and financial worlds. Vivian’s background includes senior roles at Barrick Gold,
Cadillac Fairview, and Loblaws, where she led global system implementations, negotiated cross- border structures, and advised executive teams. Today, that experience fuels the strategic advice and closure-focused solutions we deliver to every client.
“My philosophy is simple: I get things done. I’m a closer. I know how to read the room, apply
pressure where it matters, and guide all parties toward resolution.”
— Vivian T. Lao, Managing Partner
