About the Guest:

Christine is a founding partner at the Calgary based law firm Smith & Little LLP, a boutique firm offering family law and civil litigation services. Christine and her partner, Kelly Elizabeth Smith, are passionate about doing law differently and rethinking the way that law firms deliver services to clients. It was this passion that led them to found Smith & Little 4 years ago. They have thrown out all of the old status quo billing models and take a fresh approach to the delivery of legal services. One of the cornerstones of their approach is their unique billing model which is not based on the billable hour but instead offers fees based on the value of the services delivered. 

Christine and Kelly strive to be known for the excellence of their work while remaining down to earth and approachable. Good quality legal advice doesn’t have to be stuffy or unapproachable!
