Justin Murphy is an associate lawyer whose practice focuses on family law, with a growing employment law practice. Since being called to the Bar in 2020, Justin has represented clients in a wide range of disputes and has developed extensive experience advocating before both the Provincial Court and Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Justin regularly assists clients with parenting disputes, child support, spousal support, property division, protection orders, relocations, child removal matters and divorce. He has represented clients through all stages of the litigation process, including chambers applications, mediations, settlement negotiations, and trials. While he is a strong advocate in court, Justin recognizes that not every dispute requires litigation. He works with clients to identify practical, cost-effective paths toward resolution whenever possible.
Justin has expanded his practice to include employment law. He assists clients with a variety of workplace issues, including wrongful dismissal claims, human rights complaints, workplace accommodation matters, and other employment-related concerns. Justin understands that workplace disputes can have significant financial and personal consequences and is committed to providing practical guidance tailored to each client’s circumstances.
Before joining YLaw, Justin practised at a boutique law firm in New Westminster, where he represented clients throughout British Columbia, including individuals and families living in rural and Northern communities with limited access to legal services.
