Joanne Forrest
Designated Paralegal
Joanne Forrest joined Up Legal Group in 2023. She is a designated paralegal within the firm and brings two decades worth of experience to the role.
She has a strong litigation background having touched almost all areas of litigation throughout her career. She has dedicated many hours to mentoring and training others in the litigation field.
Joanne has obtained two paralegal accreditations through Vancouver Community College (VCC) and Capilano University. She has attended numerous courses to keep up to date with the changes in law to the legal profession. She is a sponge for knowledge and has a real passion for the law.
Joanne has a strong work ethic and desire in helping people. She takes a lot of pride in getting good results for clients and has that personal caring touch that helps navigate clients through the litigation process.
When not working, you will find Joanne outdoors loving the snow and sunshine and her sports (both playing and watching). Her competitive nature in sports is comparable to her work ethic. She also enjoys taking her bull terrier Tuscany for walks.
