| Liana joined DuMoulin Boskovich in late July 2004, bringing with her over 13 years experience in resolving the difficult and often contentious issues faced by families in transition. Previous careers in the banking and insurance fields have given her a solid background in the often complex process of dividing family assets and personal estates. Family Law remains Liana's primary focus, including both Mediation and Collaborative Law in addition to litigation and negotiation. She also handles significant property law matters. Wills and Estates practice includes wills drafting, wills mediations and contested estates. One reported trial decision; Danchuk v. Calderwood, is still cited with authority concerning cases of "undue influence" in the making of a will. With her straightforward, client-centred approach, Liana seeks to provide creative solutions to complex problems. Her strong academic qualifications and significant Court experience at both Provincial and Supreme Court levels provide her with a wide range of options for solving those problems, whether through Court process or a negotiated settlement. Liana obtained a First Class Honours degree in History and International Relations from the University of British Columbia and, after attending the University's Law School, was called to the British Columbia Bar in 1992. Liana's commitment to the community is strong. She has appeared as a panelist and contributing author at Continuing Legal Education and Trial Lawyers Association seminars and regularly lectures on family law and estate planning for community organizations. She continues a commitment to higher learning through involvement as an auxiliary instructor and lab supervisor at the Institute of Paralegal Studies at Capilano College. She is a member of the Vancouver Collaborative Divorce Practice group, a voluntary association of lawyers, mental health professionals and financial advisors who meet regularly to address the difficult issues facing separated parents. A lifetime North Shore resident, Liana loves the scenery and recreational amenities of her Deep Cove neighbourhood and is an active hockey and baseball parent. Please contact her for information on upcoming Family Law in Focus seminars. |
