Emma Neary

Emma R. Neary stands out as a distinguished legal professional, particularly in the realm of family and divorce law. Her dedication is evident in her comprehensive approach to navigating the complexities of family dynamics, especially when it comes to safeguarding clients' assets and planning for the future through meticulously drafted prenuptial or cohabitation agreements. Emma's deep understanding of the emotional and financial turmoil that accompanies family separations drives her to seek out the most practical and beneficial outcomes for her clients, whether it involves divorce proceedings, property division, spousal support, or child custody matters.

With a foundation in collaborative law, Emma champions the resolution of disputes outside the courtroom, employing negotiation and mediation as key tools in her arsenal. This approach not only fosters a more amicable resolution but also often results in more favorable outcomes for all parties involved. However, should the need arise for litigation or arbitration, Emma's extensive experience ensures that her clients are robustly represented.

Emma's journey into law began after her upbringing in Victoria, taking her across the country to the University of Toronto, where she pursued a double major in history and political science. Her legal aspirations then led her to the University of Calgary's Faculty of Law, where she not only earned her J.D. but also received accolades for her prowess in family law. Emma initiated her career in Calgary, contributing her skills to a boutique family law firm, before her commitment to family law and her roots called her back to Victoria. Joining Horne Coupar LLP in 2016, Emma has since been instrumental in expanding the firm’s family law division.

Her involvement in legal communities, such as the Collaborative Family Separation Professionals group and the Canadian Bar Association's Family Law Section on Vancouver Island, underscores her commitment to the field. Emma's practice is primarily stationed at the Oak Bay office, though she remains accessible to clients at a downtown location as well, ensuring flexibility and convenience for those she serves.

Emma R. Neary's career is a testament to her unwavering dedication to providing exceptional legal services in family law. Her holistic approach to client needs, from asset protection to conflict resolution, coupled with her advocacy for collaborative solutions, sets her apart as a beacon of support and expertise for families navigating the challenges of separation and divorce.
