Briar Downey is a Toronto family lawyer. Briar has significant experience in children’s issues and parenting plans. She came to us after nearly a decade as in-house Children’s Aid Society counsel. She is also well-versed in support and property issues, having started her career with the family law group at a prominent downtown Toronto law firm. Briar works with many clients who are professionals.
As CAS counsel for nearly 10 years, Briar has spent over 2500 hours in court. She learned that, in most cases, the court is not the best option for families.
Briar’s preference is to work with clients who want to negotiate a separation agreement or parenting plan. Briar is certified in Collaborative Practice, an out-of-court resolution process for separating and divorcing couples that is client-driven and emphasizes open communication, respect, and full financial disclosure.
