Hi, I’m Grace. I practice in corporate and commercial law, with special interest in franchises.

Both quality and cost matter. I am interested in working with you to come up with the most pragmatic plan to resolve your legal issues or achieve your desired results. I believe it is my duty to help you understand whether you are getting what you have “bargained” for in commercial transactions. No matter the challenges, I aspire to be transparent and upfront with you at all times.

Before joining Bell Alliance LLP in 2019, Grace was a summer student and an articling student at Aydin Bird Business Lawyers. Grace attended University of British Columbia for her undergraduate degree and completed with a double major in political science and philosophy. Grace earned her law degree at Thompson Rivers University. Grace came from Taiwan and she speaks Mandarin, Chinese. Outside of work, Grace enjoys cycling at Stanley Park, eating ice cream while walking at the White Rock Pier, and trying out various cuisines suggested by food bloggers!
