Andrea Glen

I am an experienced Family Law Mediator, family lawyer, and Collaborative Divorce practitioner.

Over the years, I have seen the toll that adversarial processes take on families.

Because of that, I strongly believe that most family law issues should be addressed outside of court. My practice is entirely focused on helping clients to reach agreements through consensual dispute resolution processes such as mediation and the Collaborative Process.

I provide honest, pragmatic support to my clients with the goal of helping them to achieve sensible, lasting solutions for their families in a cost-effective manner. I will work with you to achieve fair outcomes, while minimizing conflict and prioritizing the well-being of your children.

Going through a separation is never easy, but I am committed to helping you to move through this phase of your life with empathy and a focus on the big picture, so you can build a foundation for a successful next chapter.

I am passionate about improving access to justice in the area of family law. I have worked with many women who have experienced family violence and I strive to provide trauma-informed support in these situations. I reserve a significant portion of my time for providing pro bono (free) or low bono (reduced cost) mediation and legal representation to individuals who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend mediation or get legal advice.

I launched my own family law and mediation practice in 2020 after practising family law at a leading family law firm in Vancouver from 2013-2019. Before that, I spent six years practising civil litigation, administrative law, and commercial litigation in Vancouver and New York City.

I obtained my law degree from Harvard Law School in 2007, and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree from Western University in 2004.
