Parveen Karsan is a tax and estate planning lawyer with over two decades of experience advising privately-held businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and family enterprises across British Columbia and beyond.
She practises through Karsan Tax, a boutique practice in association with Onyx Law Group, with offices in Vancouver and Surrey — combining deep technical expertise in tax and trust law with a holistic approach to wealth preservation and family enterprise continuity.
Parveen has advised entrepreneurs, professionals, and multigenerational families on complex tax and estate matters across Canada — including high-value estates, closely held corporations, cross-border structures, and family business succession. Her work involves advising on structures involving closely held corporations and family enterprises, working alongside accountants and advisors on integrated planning, and providing clarity in situations where the financial and personal stakes are often significant. Formerly Partner and Chair of the Tax Practice Group at a national law firm, she brings both the technical depth and the client relationships that come from decades at the highest levels of practice.
She brings a rare combination of tax law, estate planning, family enterprise advisory, and mediation credentials — addressing not only the technical structures that protect wealth, but the governance frameworks and family dynamics that sustain it across generations. The goal is always the same: so that decisions made today continue to benefit you and your family over the long term.
She also provides specialist tax advice on the termination of marriage and business relationships — including the tax implications of property division on separation, rollover elections, and the unwinding of business structures — guiding clients through these transitions with precision and discretion.
She advises in English, French, Spanish, Hindi, and Gujarati, and regularly appears as a speaker at the Canadian Tax Foundation, STEP Canada, CLEBC, and the Pacific Business & Law Institute.
