Meet the Team

With more than two decades of family law experience in our family mediation team, we have seen firsthand how families get caught in a system that is slow, expensive, and built around a disconnect — a disconnect between lawyers, between clients, between offices, and between the people who actually need solutions.

Brenda Ffraser brings more than two decades of dedicated family law experience to her role as Lead Family Mediator & Director of Mediation Programs. Having practiced across Alberta, from High Level to Medicine Hat, and in many communities in between, Brenda has built a reputation for her deep legal knowledge, practical insight, and unwavering commitment to the families she serves.
