A Law Society of BC hearing panel has suspended Kamloops lawyer Nickolaus H.M. Weiser for eight months, making this the second time he’s been suspended in the past year.
On March 10, 2023, the society had proven its case that Weiser acted in a conflict of interest in concurrently representing a company in which he had a financial interest but also provided a loan to clients involved in a real estate transaction. He also borrowed $366,545 from the company, which was also his client. The violations occurred between January 2013 and September 2016.
The panel found Weiser “engaged in a pattern of disregard for the mandatory conflict rules” and “there is no evidence before the Panel indicating the Respondent has acknowledged his misconduct or undertaken remedial action to ensure the misconduct found by the Panel does not again occur.” Weiser had been suspended under an administrative order for failing to produce documents for society investigators.
