Devlin Gavigan
Devlin Gavigan is an associate lawyer with The Fagans — a firm that hires rarely and selectively. Devlin earned his place through academic excellence, courtroom focus, and a commitment to results.
He graduated near the top of his law school class, receiving multiple academic awards. He was initially recruited to a position at a leading multinational corporate law firm — a highly competitive role typically offered to only a small number of top graduates.
But Devlin’s focus shifted. After gaining exposure to corporate practice, he redirected his career toward criminal defence. To prepare for that transition, he secured one of the most competitive legal roles available to young lawyers: a judicial clerkship. As a Clerk, Devlin assisted in reviewing, editing, and commenting on judicial decisions in criminal cases, gaining direct insight into how trial and appellate judges assess legal arguments and credibility.
Following his work with the court, Devlin joined The Fagans. He remains a core member of the firm’s selective, low-volume practice. He is competitive, meticulous, and focused — and works within the confines of professional and ethical obligations to pursue the best possible outcomes for his clients.
Devlin defends all criminal charges in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. He has developed a record of fighting — and winning — serious criminal cases.
