About Catalyst Legal LLP

Catalyst Legal LLP is a family law firm in Vancouver, British Columbia. Nancy Chen, a co-founder, started the firm in August 2017, aiming to give clients thorough legal help while keeping costs manageable and putting each family's situation first. The firm now has three lawyers, Nancy Chen, Jennifer Lin, and Emily Quinn, along with a designated paralegal and a legal assistant, working out of an office on West Broadway and serving clients across the Lower Mainland.

Catalyst Legal handles family law only, and it resolves most files through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative family law, treating court as a last resort. Its lawyers have appeared before the BC Provincial Court, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and the Court of Appeal when litigation becomes necessary. The firm's approach draws on training in child development, mental health, and trauma informed practice. Catalyst Legal also publishes Divorce Stories, a blog of first person accounts of separation and divorce shared by clients under changed names.
