43434| O akville B eaver | T hursday,S eptem ber 13,2018 insidehalton.com Business in Oakville Oakville family law firm Berry Gage LLP is growing with the addition of a newWills and Estates depart- ment to complement the family law services the firm provides. The firm's founding partners, Susan Berry and Marian Gage, have a combined 25 years legal ex- perience practicing exclusively in family law. Berry Gage LLP was formed by the two partners in 2014 and has since specialized in matters relating to separation and divorce,marriage contracts, cohabi- tation agreements and adoption. The firm's lawyers have expertise and accredi- tations in their respective practice areas including family law coaching, advocacy, negotiation, repre- sentation in litigation, the Collaborative family pro- cess and mediation. Now for the first time the law firm is offering ser- vices relating to wills, trusts, powers of attor- ney, estate planning, es- tate administration and estate litigation. The partners hired Bethany Anderson to head up the new de- partment. Anderson is a practiced Wills and Es- tates lawyer with expe- rience in commercial litigation, wealth management and estate planning. Prior to joining Berry Gage LLP, she worked with one of Canada's largest law firms and, later, in private practice in Oakville. Law clerk Beverly Orr also joined the new Wills and Estates team this month. Orr has been working in the legal field since 1983 in the areas of civil litigation, estate liti- gation, wills and powers of attorney and family law. "Our clients often come to us looking for a full-service family law firm that can meet all of their needs. Almost ev- ery family law client we see will benefit from some element of estate planning either at the onset of a new partnership or at the end of a relationship. We've decided that we can best serve our clients with an in-house Wills and Estates department," said Gage. Gage points out that this new department will not draw from the firm's existing practice. She and Berry will continue to specialize in family law along with another new hire, associate law- yer Suzanne Stolz. Stolz graduated from Harvard Law School in 2002, she was called to the New York bar in 2004 and worked in family law and human rights advoca- cy before immigrating to Canada. She was recently called to the Ontario Bar and lawyers and staff at Berry Gage LLP are pleased to welcome her to the family law practice.
