The people behind your file
Every client works with a lawyer who leads their matter, supported by a paralegal and assistant. That keeps things moving, and it keeps your costs down.
Kirsten Watson
Associate
Kirsten advises on child and spousal support and drafts cohabitation and marriage agreements. She also leads the firm's wills and estates practice.
Paul Edward
Associate
Paul practises collaborative family law and represents clients in mediation. He works in English and Cantonese.
Julie Toner
Senior Paralegal
Julie manages financial disclosure and court filings, and is often the first person clients speak with about the practical side of their file.
Loretta Jarrard
Legal Assistant
Loretta coordinates scheduling, documents and client intake, and makes sure no call goes unreturned.
How we work together
Family law files involve a lot of paperwork, including financial statements, disclosure and court forms. We match each task to the right person, so you're not paying a senior lawyer's rate for work a paralegal can do just as well.
You'll always know who your lawyer is, and you can reach them directly.
