Preferred areas of practice: secured transactions, wills and estates, real property and commercial mediation.
"Paul G. Scambler, QC, has practised law with the firm of Clay and Company in Victoria, Canada, since 1978.

He was designated as Queen's Counsel by the British Columbia Attorney General in 2001. He has participated in training of lawyers in negotiation in Thailand (2002) and Cambodia (2001)."
[quote site 2005.07/06]
In 2005 he co-taught the UVIC Faculty of Law
Real Property Transactions - Law 317 course from Sept. to Dec. 2005.
The course description includes
"...
Real property transactions form an important part of the commercial life of Canadian society. For most people, their single most important financial transaction will be the purchase of their home and the financing of it. For most businesses, purchasing land, leasing premises and financing by use of security on land is an important part of their operations.
This course is intended to introduce ... the fundamental legal issues involved in a real estate transaction. We will look at the process of the sale transaction from the listing of property and the obligations of the realtor to problems involved in the purchaser's enforcing remedies after closing of the transaction. We will spend a significant amount of the course on the fundamentals of mortgage transactions, including the implied terms of a mortgage, common mortgage provisions and the enforcement of mortgage security. If time permits, we will look briefly at leases, with particular note of the commercial leasing transaction. ..."
