	Jill McLeod - Family Law Lawyer
	As a litigator at all levels of Ontario courts, I witnessed the negative effects of the adversarial system on families.

I can help you achieve your personal objectives and also build a working relationship with your spouse to help you both co-parent your children in the future.

	Cathryn L. Paul – Family Law Lawyer
	I expanded my family law practice to include collaborative law, mediation, and arbitration because of my concern with how the traditional court process tears families apart. These alternatives can lead to effective resolution of family disputes in a manner that helps preserve the dignity of the parties and focus on underlying interests, keeping the children’s interests in the forefront. I graduated from Queen's University with a Bachelor of Commerce in 1991, and from the Bachelor of Laws program at the University of Western Ontario in 1994. I was called to the Ontario Bar in 1996. I am actively involved in the Oakville community.
