Family LawFamily LawAbout Erin O'Leary
Erin O'Leary practises family law at Cohen Highley LLP. Some clients arrive in the middle of a complicated family dispute; others simply want to know where they stand legally. Erin writes for the firm's readers too, with recent pieces on cohabitation agreements and on the first steps after a decision to end a marriage.
A London native, Erin recharges away from work by cooking and gardening. Whether it's a new recipe or a new bed of plants, the appeal is the same: starting something from nothing and seeing it grow.
Cohen Highley is where Erin's legal career began. Erin joined as a summer student in 2009, was called to the Bar two years later, and is now a partner. Both an undergraduate degree and law school came from Western University.
Erin's focus is personal support that keeps stress down and helps clients feel seen and heard while their matter moves forward. When Erin helps build a long-term arrangement, the well being of everyone affected comes first, children most of all.
