Aachal N. Soll
Biography
Aachal enjoys practicing in the "people-focused" areas of law such family law, child protection, and administrative law. Â
Having received training for trauma-informed practice, family violence screening, and training for assisting sexual assault survivors, Aachal strives to be cognizant of the challenges often faced by the separating spouses who she represents. Â
She is grateful to be a Children's Lawyer and help children who get caught up in the legal system. She provides independent legal advice to youth who have been removed from their caregivers by child protection services and represents the youth at child protection trials. She can interview children and prepare Hear the Child Reports in family law matters to ensure that the court can consider the children's views when determining what is in their best interests. At the end of the day, while the judge makes the order, it impacts the children's lives and they deserve to be heard. She advocates for policy changes in family law and child protection so that the children are better supported. Â
Aachal is an avid volunteer with the Canadian Bar Association – BC Branch. She is the Yale Country Representative to the Provincial Council. She has been an executive member of the Women Lawyers Forum (WLF) – Kamloops Section since June 2015 and chaired the section for three years. She is presently a Co-Chair for the Family Law – Kamloops Section. She has chaired the CBABC Law Week Regional Committee and served on the CBABC Member Services & Engagement Committee, the CBABC WLF Retreat Committee, and the CBABC Equality & Diversity Committee.Â
As a member of the BC Family Law Working Group, she worked on the CBABC Submissions to BCLI on Modernizing the CFCSA and is currently involved in the CBABC submissions on the ongoing Modernization of the FLA project. Aachal is also involved in the National Family Law section and advocacy efforts to improve access to justice in family law.Â
Aachal loves getting involved in events at the law school at Thompson Rivers University be it at speaking engagements or mentorship. In the broader Kamloops community, Aachal has volunteered with the “Pit Stop Meals” lunch program through Kamloops United Church, been a member of the Family Tree board and volunteered with the local rotary club in local community events.Â
Outside of her profession Aachal likes to read (fiction - because who needs reality after a day of family law practice), snowboard (does once a year count?), and do yoga ... in the few breaths between mothering two little kids, running a full-time private practice and pro bono work. Â
