Spafford, Catherine L

I am an associate at Bruyer & Mackay LLP, formerly Gordon Zwaenepoel, where I practice exclusively in family law. I have worked as a litigator in Toronto and Edmonton, and have seen the devastating impact that divorce and separation can have on families, both psychologically and financially. As a lawyer, my role is to help my clients mitigate that impact by providing practical advice and crafting long-term solutions that allow them to move forward with dignity.

In my experience, the best results are achieved when clients feel empowered to make their own choices, rather than leaving important decisions about their children, finances and future in the hands of a judge. I believe in the Collaborative Law process because it shifts the focus from winning a fight to solving a problem. It allows families work through their issues in a private forum with the assistance of professionals with one common goal: to find a resolution that addresses your specific needs, values and interests.
