In Memoriam of Larry Hagan (1955-2025)

SURREY, British Columbia - Rezul -- Larry Hagan was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1955, graduating from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree with distinction in 1978 and a Bachelor of Law Degree in 1979. After graduation, he moved to Calgary and received his designation as a Chartered Accountant in 1981 and was called to the Alberta Bar in 1982. After an extensive world tour he worked in Hong Kong and then practised at a law firm in Calgary. In 1989, he moved to Vancouver and was called to the British Columbia Bar.

In 1990, Larry joined a client company and spent three years in real estate, manufacturing and distributing. He returned to the practice of law in 1993 with Kane, Shannon & Weiler and became a Partner in 1999. He was a member of several tax study groups and lectured extensively to various professional organizations. His practice area was that of income tax planning and documentation with respect to estate planning, income splitting and structuring of purchase and sale transactions to best deal with income tax liabilities. Because of his background, not only as an accountant and a lawyer, but also having spent a number of years in business, Larry provided a unique combination of someone who looked at the practical side of a tax driven plan.

Larry was a lawyer at KSW for around 30 years, and a partner for over 20 years. He is directly responsible for setting up KSW's tax law group, which remains the only substantive tax law group in BC outside of downtown Vancouver.

Larry had a big heart. He was always ready to champion the cause for those in need, whether it was rallying his partners to fundraise, or through his work with the Rotary Club. Together with his wife Carol, Larry raised millions of dollars for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

We will miss his hearty laugh, his impromptu last-minute lunches and his zest for adventure.
