Award Winning Family, Employment and Strata Lawyers 

YLaw is the fastest-growing family law and employment law firm in BC, with offices in Vancouver, Langley, and Chilliwack. Our award-winning lawyers put your best interests front and center. We hold morning meetings where we all brainstorm on our files and come up with solutions as a team, delivering solutions for divorce, child custody, wrongful dismissal, and workplace disputes.

We don’t believe that every legal case must end in a battle where one wins and one loses. Our focus is on your long-term interests, including your family, career, and financial well-being. Our innovative approach has earned us multiple awards, including Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers in Canada, Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada, Top 40 under 40, Globe and Mail’s Top 400 Companies in Canada, and MacLean’s Growth 500.

At YLaw, we specialize in family law issues like divorce, child and spousal support, parenting time, and asset division, as well as employment law matters including wrongful dismissal, workplace discrimination, harassment, and contract disputes. We also provide immigration law, estate litigation, strata law, class actions, and civil litigation services.

Our Strategy

Hiring a lawyer at YLaw from our Vancouver, Langley or Chilliwack branch means you have hired all of our lawyers because we have morning meetings in which we discuss all of our cases and together, and come up with the best strategy to resolve your case.

Why We Do Everything Different

We’re not your typical Vancouver lawyers. We collaborate, are highly energetic, and have an insatiable thirst for success. We do not use the client’s money on advertising or expensive purchases.

We are down-to-earth and our first priority is helping the client—whether it’s resolving a divorce, child support issue, workplace harassment, or employment contract dispute. That is why we are successful. We believe the law must evolve with society, and we constantly push its boundaries to deliver results. Learn more about our lawyers

Your Initial Consultation

You are our family and we will help you like we help our own family members. This means having your best long-term interests in mind as we negotiate, compromise, settle or resolve your matter in Court if need be.

We invite you to give us the opportunity to address your case and the possible solutions even if you do not end up retaining us. We do not ask you to choose us. We ask you to choose the right lawyer. Whether that is us or someone else is irrelevant. We invite you to consult with a couple of family lawyers prior to choosing who you better connect with. We charge for our initial consultation because we want serious clients who know of us and trust us before they come in. If you have to pay for something, you will spend much more time looking into it, qualifying it and determining whether it is worth the money or whether you really need it. We do not need to or want to give incentives such as a free consultation to lure clients into retaining us. Our quality of advice and work should do that job which again are ingredients to successful cases and good relationships.

YLaw is committed to providing you with strategic advice for all of your family law needs. Schedule a consultation with our award-winning legal team for guidance and advice today. Call 604-974-9529 or contact us here to get in touch.
