Jamie Zyla, In Memoriam

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague and friend, Jamie Zyla. Jamie was a cherished member of our team whose humour, and dedication touched all who had the privilege of knowing and working with her. She will be profoundly missed.

In her multifaceted role as legal assistant and HR & facilities manager, Jamie brought exceptional skill, professionalism, and care to her work. She provided invaluable support to solicitors, litigators, and the firm’s management team, contributing meaningfully to the success and well‑being of those around her.

Since joining the firm in 2007, Jamie played an integral role in many significant cases and proceedings, including her notable contributions to the Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal Rights & Title case. Her strong organizational abilities and more than 20 years of experience in the legal field helped guide the Tsilhqot’in Title Case through every level of appeal, including the Supreme Court of Canada—a milestone she regarded as the high point of her career.

Jamie’s legacy of dedication, kindness, and excellence will continue to inspire us. We hold her memory with deep gratitude and appreciation.
