I'm a lawyer in North Vancouver, BC and co-founder of Jointly
I've been practising law in British Columbia for over ten years. After experiencing the high costs of separation, I co-founded Jointly — Canada’s first digital platform designed to make relationship agreements fair, accessible, and affordable.
I founded Jointly because I want to empower more Canadians with the knowledge and tools to create relationship agreements that work for them, at a price they can afford. My big dream? That reaching more Canadians with Jointly ultimately keeps more families out of the court system when relationships breakdown, which can be slow, expensive and traumatic.
My co-founder Aimee Schalles and I started Jointly because we kept seeing the same story: couples who needed a prenup, postnup, or cohabitation agreement but couldn't afford one, or found the process too intimidating to start.
With over two decades of combined legal experience between us, we built a platform that combines an education course with a questionnaire-based agreement builder. Couples can create a custom, legally compliant agreement for under $500 a fraction of the $2,500–$5,000 cost of hiring two lawyers separately.
Relationship agreements are for everyone, not just the wealthy.
Amanda challenges the outdated Hollywood stereotype of the wealthy man asking his wife-to-be to sign a prenup to protect his fortune. That narrative, she explains, doesn’t reflect the reality for most Canadians today.
Jointly co-founders aim to cut the cost of prenuptial agreements by nearly 90%, making them accessible to ordinary Canadians.
I speak and write regularly about family law, relationship agreements, personal finance, and entrepreneurship. My goal is always the same: make complex legal concepts feel accessible and actionable for real people.
