Sarah Leung

Sarah Leung is a trilingual trial lawyer who practices in family and divorce law.  She was born in England and spent her early childhood years in Hong Kong, China, before immigrating to Canada with her family at the age of nine.  She obtained her law degree from the University of British Columbia and was called to the bar in 2008.  She has 15 years of litigation experience and in particular, trial experience, in both Provincial Court and Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Sarah is well-versed in all areas of family law, although her focus is on complicated family law issues including complex employment and business structures and difficult parenting matters.  Sarah is fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin; she further brings the necessary Asian cultural awareness when serving the firm’s Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) speaking clients.

Sarah understands her clients and has a client-oriented approach.  She works closely with her clients to tailor a strategy that works best for their case.  Sarah aims to solve her client’s problems efficiently, expeditiously, and through settlement.  However, when amicable resolution is not an option, she does not shy away from moving the family matter forward in court.  Sarah’s extensive court experience coupled with her creative legal thinking, assertiveness, and tenacity makes her a force to be reckoned with.

Outside of work, Sarah is an avid foodie; she also enjoys singing, the theatre, and skiing at Whistler in winter.
