Profile
Collaborative Family Law on Antique Row
Erin Shaw Family Law is a specialized boutique firm located on the historic Fort Street (Antique Row) in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. Founded by Erin Shaw, a highly respected lawyer and certified family law mediator with over 30 years of experience, the firm is dedicated to helping families resolve their disputes with dignity and respect. Erin Shaw is a leading advocate for the Collaborative Family Law process, which focuses on open communication and problem-solving rather than adversarial litigation. Her practice is built on the belief that families are best served when they maintain control over their own outcomes, rather than handing decisions over to a judge.
Mediation and Collaboration
The firm’s primary focus is on non-court resolution methods. As a Certified Mediator, Erin Shaw facilitates productive conversations between separating couples, helping them reach durable agreements on parenting, support, and property division. In the Collaborative Law model, she works with a team of professionals (including financial specialists and divorce coaches) to support the family holistically. This approach not only reduces the emotional toll of divorce but also preserves relationships for the future, which is particularly critical when children are involved.
Flexible Legal Services
Recognizing that every client’s needs and budget are different, Erin Shaw Family Law offers flexible service models. In addition to full representation, they provide Unbundled Legal Services and Legal Coaching. This allows clients who wish to represent themselves to access expert advice on specific issues or document preparation without the cost of a full retainer. Whether you need help drafting a Separation Agreement, calculating spousal support, or preparing for a mediation session, Erin and her team provide the targeted support you need.
