Principal, Founder

Chantall Long, LL.B

Chantall was born and raised in Jamaica, where the sun never stops shining and the waters are always warm. She obtained her Law Degree with Honours from the University of Technology in 2014 and continued to work in the legal industry until she immigrated to Canada in 2016. During her time in Canada, she completed the Alternative Dispute Resolution course along with obtaining her Paralegal Class P1 License from the Law Society of Upper Canada (now Law Society of Ontario). Shortly after she made her way to the forests of BC in 2017 in an attempt to escape the blissful winters of Ontario.

Chantall went on and completed the National Committee of Accreditation with the Federation of Law Society of Canada in 2021. During this process she worked in the education industry of BC for over 5 years and was a contract instructor at Douglas College, teaching courses such as Legal Proceedings - Litigation and Legal Proceedings: Family Law.

While teaching, Chantall worked at a boutique firm in Port Coquitlam where she gained extensive and robust experience in Family Law, Civil Litigation, Immigration and Wills & Estates. She has appeared before the Immigration and Refugee Board, Provincial Court, and Supreme Court of British Columbia.  She has a passion for law and believes that patience, focus and understanding are key components that clients need to resolve matters.

As Chantall is a firm believer that basic human needs should always be secured, her spare time involves volunteering with the United Way Food Hub and Low Entropy, a local charity focused on improving the social and economic wellbeing of vulnerable youths, adults and seniors . She also competes in dragon boat racing and relaxes by cleaning her 60-gallon fish tank and swimming leisurely in warm waters only.

At the core of Monique’s belief is that although the customs, policies, and rules of law are standard, people’s concerns, experiences, and identities are unique and should therefore be treated as such.

During warmer months, Monique enjoys kayaking and can typically be found by a lake or river, with her chair in the water, reading a book. In colder months, she prefers to be cocooned on her couch, reading even more books.
