We are delighted to announce that Krista Simon, a partner in our personal injury group, was voted the number one lawyer in Vancouver in the 2018 Stars of Vancouver awards by the Vancouver Courier.
We are not surprised by her win. Krista has passionately advocated for her injured clients for 15 years and we know how much she loves her work.
In 2016, Krista was nominated in The Canadian Lawyer’s Top 25 Most Influential awards, recognizing lawyers under 40 making an impact in their communities and in the legal professional.
In 2015, Krista was President of the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. — only the fourth woman president in the organization’s 35 year history. During her tenure, she forged key relationships with stakeholders and directed the organization’s attention to greater participation in a wide variety of legal issues.
She was the first woman to achieve partnership at Hammerberg and has become a mentor and educator for young lawyers both within and outside this firm.
Estate planning can be emotionally charged, especially when complex family dynamics are at play.
Hammerco Lawyers included in the 2025 Edition of The Best Lawyers in Canada™ for their top work in the legal profession and their exceptional commitment to advocating for their clients.
Estate matters can be emotionally charged and made more complex when it comes to the question of whether cultural norms and traditions can justify disinheriting one child over another.
Special considerations apply to Indigenous estates and wills made by Indigenous persons.
