Louise Kim is an associate at Edwards, Kenny & Bray LLP. Over the past year, Louise has provided pro bono representation to dozens of tenants of a Richmond apartment complex. The landlord issued eviction notices to the tenants claiming that their rental units required vacant possession due to renovations. Louise succeeded in defending the tenants’ case at arbitration and in the B.C. Supreme Court.

The landlord has since appealed the B.C. Supreme Court decision, and Louise is now representing the tenants pro bono in the B.C. Court Appeal. In all, Louise has provided well over a hundred hours of pro bono legal services in support of the tenants’ fight to remain in their homes.

At Edwards Kenny Bray, Louise’s litigation practice otherwise focuses on contract disputes, employment law, family law and general civil litigation matters. Louise was also elected as Treasurer of the Civil Litigation Canadian Bar Association Subsection.
