I'm a lawyer in Revelstoke, BC and co-founder of Jointly
I've been practising law in British Columbia for over ten years. Before starting my own firm, I worked at a national law firm but I left Big Law to build something that fit my values. Running a small firm in Revelstoke set me on the path to launching Jointly.
I've seen the difficulties ordinary people face accessing reliable legal services and many friends and clients go through difficult separations that a prenup or cohabitation agreement could have improved. Jointly is my answer to that problem.
My co-founder Amanda Baron 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.
The co-founder of Jointly talks about leaving Big Law, tracking spending as a system, and her most worthwhile splurges.
Jointly co-founders aim to cut the cost of prenuptial agreements by nearly 90%, making them accessible to ordinary Canadians.
With over two decades of combined legal experience, Amanda Baron and Aimee Schalles explain why relationship agreements are for everyone.
Featured in the Allard School of Law History Project, recognising graduates who have made significant contributions to BC's legal community.
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.
