Sandy Sihota is the founder of SiLaw Group.

 

Since 2013, Sandy practices as a family litigation lawyer, a collaborative lawyer, and a children's lawyer. In 2021, Sandy's practise expanded towards out-of-court dispute resolutions and she is accredited as a Family Law Mediator, a Family Law Arbitrator and a Parenting Coordinator. She is also trained in writing Views of the Children reports for children.

​

In 2019, Sandy found SiLaw Group Family Lawyers with a unique vision to be an approachable and friendly firm by providing straightforward, stress-free and cost-effective personable services to family law clients. She saw first hand the impact of a separation on clients and was eager to make this process as easy as possible for them. 

​

Sandy’s family law experience is extensive and includes all types of matters from separation agreements, division of assets, spousal support, and child custody issues. She brings sensitivity to these matters, but concentrates on delivering results for her clients.

​

As a litigator, Sandy has appeared before all levels of courts and tribunals in British Columbia. She prides herself on her pragmatic approach to successfully settling disputes along with her strong listening and negotiation skills. As a Children's lawyer, Sandy represents children between the ages of 7-18 in having their voice heard in the legal system. She is fluent in both English and Punjabi.

​

Sandy contributes to the legal education sector as a contract Instructor for the Professional Legal Training Course (PLTC) with the Law Society of British Columbia.
