Chase & Associates LTD: Licensed Insolvency Trustee

A New Chapter for Our Practice: Derek L. Chase & Associates Becomes Chase & Associates LTD

As we continue our commitment to helping individuals and families find a fresh financial start, our practice is entering an exciting new chapter. As part of this transition, Len Hiquebran, Licensed Insolvency Trustee, officially took over the LIT practice previously operated by Derek L. Chase on January 1, 2022.

As part of this transition, our firm’s registered name with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada has been updated to Chase & Associates LTD. While our name has evolved, our mission remains the same: to provide compassionate, respectful, and practical support to people navigating financial difficulty.

What This Means for You

You’ll continue to receive the same caring, personalized service. Our offices, phone numbers, website (bankruptcytrusteebc.ca), and email addresses all remain the same. If you’ve worked with us before, you’ll find the same welcoming environment and the same commitment to helping you move forward.

Our Team Is Growing

We’ve had a few staff changes over the past year.

  • Shirley has retired, and we wish her all the best in this next chapter.
  • Jen B. and Jen D. have both successfully completed the Insolvency Administrator’s Course, strengthening our team’s expertise and capacity to support clients.

We’re proud of the dedication our staff bring to their work every day.

Your File Is in Good Hands

All active files and statutory responsibilities have been fully transferred to Len. If you are currently working with us, your file continues without interruption. You don’t need to take any action; everything continues seamlessly.

Len Hiquebran, CPA, CA, LIT

After completing my articling at a local accounting firm, I spent some time working in industry as a controller of a logging company. Subsequently, I joined Chase & Associates in 2017 and began working in the insolvency field. In June 2020 I completed my studies and was granted a license by the Federal Government to be a Licensed Insolvency Trustee.
