Legal and Academic Partnerships
advancing law, policy and legal education in BC
Over the past 20 years, we have collaborated with governing legal bodies and institutions of higher learning to advance law and justice.
We have cultivated strong bonds with special interest groups and associations working toward protecting the rights of British Columbians. Our goals are to educate and influence policy-makers; to mentor service providers to advance the care of the injured; to provide greater access to justice; and to better serve diverse communities, remote populations and marginalized groups.
Our greatest strength at Helpforme is the quality of our lawyers. Our team holds membership in the following legal bodies and associations:
- Law Society of British Columbia,
- Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador
- Canadian Bar Association;
- Canadian Bar Association Sub-section memberships in Civil Litigation, Insurance Litigation, Automobile Insurance Committee, Young Lawyers Section and the Women Lawyers Forum Mentoring Committee
- Vancouver Bar Association
- Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia (including a partner who was once President of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC)
- TLABC New Lawyers Litigation Group
- Canadian Bar Association
- Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association
