About Connect Family Law
Connect Family Law is a family law firm with offices in Vancouver, Surrey, and Kelowna. Leisha Murphy and Simon Kent formed the firm in the fall of 2015 after each had gone through a family separation and wanted to build a practice that worked differently. The firm's stated aim is to do no harm and to focus on resolving separations rather than fighting every one of them in court. Since then it's grown to 18 lawyers, including four partners, across its three British Columbia offices.
Where a case allows it, Connect Family Law favors collaborative divorce, mediation, and negotiated settlement over litigation, though it still goes to court when a client needs a judge to decide. Three of its lawyers, including founding partner Leisha Murphy, are accredited family mediators. The firm also pairs its legal work with outside support: it offers clients a counselling and coaching session with a separation and divorce specialist, and it runs Divorce Salons and a fixed-fee Connect Community program for clients who might not otherwise be able to afford a lawyer.
