"Dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for every client."

Gurneet Gill is a family lawyer at Outset Law with a strong commitment to advocacy, women’s rights, and helping clients navigate some of the most challenging moments of their lives with confidence and clarity. Her journey to becoming a lawyer reflects years of determination, resilience, and hard work. Beginning her career as an administrative assistant and later working as a legal assistant, Gurneet remained focused on her goal of becoming a lawyer and building a career centred on meaningful advocacy and access to justice. This unique background provides her with a comprehensive understanding of the legal process from the ground up.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies from Simon Fraser University, where she developed a deep understanding of systemic inequality, gender equity, and social justice. She later obtained her Juris Doctor from Bond University in Queensland, Australia, where she strengthened her advocacy skills and passion for representing individuals facing power imbalances, family conflict, and emotionally complex legal disputes.

Gurneet is passionate about empowering her clients through knowledge, strategy, and strong legal advocacy. She understands that family law issues often involve deeply personal challenges, financial uncertainty, and significant emotional stress. She prioritizes a client first approach, ensuring those she represents feel heard and anchored at every stage of their case. Her approach combines compassion with strong advocacy, always focused on protecting her clients’ interests and helping them move forward.

Outside of her practice, Gurneet enjoys spending time with her golden retriever, Koopa, exploring local farmers markets, and discovering Vancouver’s ever evolving culinary scene.
