Heidi Taylor is a partner at FH&P Lawyers LLP, where she brings a wealth of experience in family law and alternative dispute resolution. With a background that uniquely combines psychology and law, Heidi’s approach to her practice is both compassionate and strategic, making her a standout in her field.

She began her academic journey at the University of British Columbia, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2000, and followed it up with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) in 2003. After graduating from law school, Heidi was called to the British Columbia Bar in 2004 and began her career as an Associate at FH&P. By 2011, she had risen to become a partner, and she currently leads the firm's Family Law Practice Group.

What Makes Heidi Taylor Stand Out?

Heidi is known for her ability to handle all kinds of family law matters, from custody battles and child support to spousal support and property division. She has a knack for navigating the complexities that arise when businesses and family law intersect, drawing on her background in corporate and civil litigation to tackle these issues head-on.

Heidi is also a big believer in finding amicable solutions outside the courtroom. As an active member of the Okanagan Collaborative Family Law Group, she focuses on resolving disputes through mediation and negotiation. She became a qualified family law mediator in 2019 and has since helped numerous clients reach fair settlements without the need for a trial. However, if going to court becomes necessary, Heidi is no stranger to litigation. She regularly appears in the BC Supreme Court and has even handled cases at the Court of Appeal.
