Our lawyers
Five family lawyers, one way of working
Plain language, honest estimates, and settling outside court when that is safe. Between us we work in English, French, Arabic, Tamil and Hindi.
-
Helen Marchand
Founding lawyer
- Languages
- English, French
- Focus
- Property division, spousal support, collaborative law, cases with a family business or pension.
I want people to leave a meeting understanding their situation better than when they came in.

Daniel Osei
Lawyer and family mediator
- Languages
- English
- Focus
- Parenting time and decision-making, relocation, and mediation for couples who want to settle together.

Priya Raman
Lawyer

Most of my clients want it done properly, quickly, and at a price they knew in advance.

Behind the lawyers
Two law clerks prepare documents and financial disclosure, and our intake coordinator answers the phone, runs conflict checks and books consultations.
Lawyers are shown with monograms rather than photos.
