Lynsey Mincher

Born in Yorkshire, England, I graduated from the College of Law, York and qualified as a lawyer in 2000.

I wanted to work in an area that had a human element, which has never diminished and after 17 years I decided to open my own firm and pursue the vision I had for how to be the best family lawyer I could be. Mincher Koeman opened its doors in March 2017, and I had the honour of embarking upon this journey with not only a colleague but someone I consider a friend who shared the same vision as me.

After moving to Canada in 2005, I worked in Family Law as Director’s Counsel for the Alberta Government, predominantly in the field of Child Protection and enforcement of Support as Counsel for the Director of Maintenance Enforcement. I expanded on my extensive trial experience, representing the Director in all levels of Court, working with mental health professionals and other experts.

I offer legal coaching and limited opinions. I know that a powerful client is a knowledgeable one, and I ensure our clients have timely and accurate advice about any positions they take. I also know a client must trust and feel heard by their lawyer. I understand my legal training is not enough. I must be the right fit for that client, the person the client trusts to deal with their most precious assets, their children, their savings and their future.

I am a trained Mediator and Parenting Coordinator, and I use my mediation and negotiation skills to assist my clients in whatever process best suits their needs. I also represent children who are involved in the Child Protection system, ensuring their voices are heard.

I am licensed to practice law in Alberta, England and Wales.
