Harpreet Aulakh
Family Lawyer
Harpreet is a family lawyer who brings a calm, practical, and people-first approach to her work. She understands that when clients come to her, they’re often going through one of the most difficult transitions
in their lives — and she believes those moments deserve clarity, compassion, and dignity.
She was called to the Alberta Bar in 2024 after completing her law degree at the University of Alberta. Before that, she studied biological sciences and worked in banking and human resources — experiences
that give her a grounded, real-world perspective on the challenges her clients face.
Family has always been central to Harpreet’s life, and that perspective shapes how she practices. She advises on a range of family law matters including parenting, child and spousal support, property
division, and cohabitation or prenuptial agreements. Whether she’s helping someone sort through parenting arrangements or supporting them through property division or divorce, she focuses on resolving conflict in a way that’s respectful and sustainable.
Beyond her practice, Harpreet volunteers with the Edmonton Community Legal Centre, providing summary legal advice and public legal education. She’s also a member of the CBA Women Lawyers Forum and is
always looking for ways to grow — both personally and professionally.
Outside of work, Harpreet enjoys testing her survival skills during monthly trips to Costco, trying out different group fitness classes, exploring Edmonton’s café scene, and spending time with her family — especially her dog, Anubis, who proudly holds the title of most important family member.

Rylan is an articling student driven by a genuine passion for family law. He earned his JD from the University of Saskatchewan, where he also volunteered for the Family Law Clinic through Pro Bono Students Canada, offering crucial legal information to clients.
Prior to law school, Rylan cultivated a fascinating and diverse background.

This a unique blend of legal expertise and real-world financial experience comes quite handy when helping clients navigate the financial side of family matters, such as property division, support, and financial planning.
