About Kelly Simington
Kelly practices family law (almost) exclusively. Although she prefers to resolve matters outside of court as much as possible, much of Kelly’s work has involved high-conflict litigation addressing allegations of family violence and parental alienation, and complex financial matters. Kelly has represented clients at all levels of court in British Columbia and is currently awaiting judgment on an application (by opposing counsel) for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Kelly began her legal career as an articled student at North Shore Law LLP in 2013, and became a partner in January 2022. She has co-authored papers on family law for the TLABC and, along with other lawyers at North Shore Law LLP, provides pro bono legal advice to women on the North Shore through the North Shore Women’s Centre family law legal clinic.
In her free time Kelly enjoys hiking in the North Shore mountains and very casual softball.
