Cates Ford Soll & Epp LLP is a law firm headquartered in Kamloops, BC, with smaller branch offices in Chase and Ashcroft.

Today around 18 lawyers at the firm practice across family law, wills and estates, real estate, corporate and business law, personal injury, criminal defence, employment law, immigration law, construction law, and strata law. The firm also offers family law mediation and collaborative family law, with lawyers including partner Christopher Soll trained and certified as family law mediators.
