Professional Profile

Roberta Stewart advises a variety of clients with their business, real property, and estate matters. Her practice focuses on corporate organizations and reorganizations, and commercial transactions such as buying and selling a business, corporate/business succession planning, drafting and reviewing complex agreements and contracts, and overseeing routine corporate record management in accordance with the BC Corporate Registry requirements.

Roberta also helps individuals and families navigate complex wills and estate plans to ensure that their personal affairs are well protected, as well as assisting clients with residential house purchases, sales, and refinancing.

“I love closing a transaction. Whether acting for a buyer or seller or completing a corporate reorganization, seeing a transaction through to successful completion is extremely rewarding,” said Stewart.

Roberta recently completed the CPA In-Depth Tax Program. This adjunct knowledge provides a greater perspective on the tax consequences of corporate transactions and also informs her collaborative efforts with accountants.

A veteran of the Prince George legal industry, Roberta takes an active role in mentoring articling students and other professionals within the legal system, a responsibility she finds very fulfilling. Her community leadership and deep industry knowledge inform Roberta’s personal and tailored approach with clients who are undertaking some of the most important transactions of their lives.

On A Personal Note

Roberta originally comes from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and still cheers for the WHL Raiders, even when they come to the CN Centre to face the Cougars.

Prince George has a similar profile to her hometown: a resource-based regional hub, so she felt comfortable upon arrival. She is now a fixture here in the local community, often seen on the running trails of the city and competing in an ever-growing number of half-marathons. Roberta and her husband Steve take full advantage of the hiking and backcountry bounty the area has to offer.

She has applied herself to a number of local causes as well, volunteering for organizations such as the YMCA, MS Society, and Crime Stoppers, to name only a few.

Roberta is most happy with a good book and her cat nearby, but if you are out on Mount Robson and you feel a rush of wind blow by, that might well be one of the city’s most driven lawyers completing the Berg Lake Trail, yet again on the run.
