Each workday until GivingTuesday on December 2, we profile one of the wonderful volunteers who make APB so vital to access to justice in BC. Today's profiled volunteer is Ashley Syer.

Ashley is a stalwart volunteer lawyer with our Civil Chambers Program in Vancouver. She has been volunteering with us for two of the four years since her call to the Bar, and she regularly serves as duty counsel for otherwise unrepresented litigants appearing in BC Supreme Court and Court of Appeal chambers matters. She serves her clients with compassion and understanding, and will often take on full representation clients when the need arises.

Ashley is a sole practitioner and a former associate at two top-tier boutique litigation firms in Vancouver. She is a past co-chair of the Young Lawyers Lower Mainland subsection of the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association (CBABC), a member-at-large of the ADR subsection of the CBABC, and a member of the Women Lawyers Committee of the Trial Lawyers Association of BC. Ashley is also an Associate Civil Roster Mediator with Mediate BC.

Ashley provides one shining example of the benevolence and dedication that hundreds of volunteer lawyers bring to our programs each year.
