Deirdre Severide

I am a family lawyer practicing primarily in the collaborative model. I am committed to changing the often-destructive manner in which people divorce and believe that the collaborative model offers a positive way to restructure and move forward. I am also committed to supporting the growth of collaborative practice in my community and worldwide.
I am a board member and past president of the British Columbia Collaborative Roster Society, a member and past director of Collaborative Divorce Vancouver and currently on the board of IACP. I am a co-chair of the Access to Collaborative Committee with IACP and a past chair of the Access to Collaboration Committee of the Roster Society. Access to Collaboration is near and dear to me. I have been a trainer of the introductory collaborative model in BC with the Roster Society.
