Tips for Getting Paid: Legal Strategies to Keep Funds Flowing

Presented by Stephanie Streat, BTM Lawyers LLP

Stephanie Streat has over ten years of experience assisting clients with their complex commercial disputes.  She is called to the bar in both Alberta and British Columbia, and spent her early career at a large international law firm, first in Edmonton, then in Vancouver. She is pleased to have been based out of her own community, in Port Moody, with BTM Lawyers LLP since 2015. Stephanie assists many local Tri-City businesses to identify business risks, take proactive steps to avoid risks, and to resolve disputes when they arise. Stephanie’s practical, effective, and creative approach to dispute resolution results in many matters being resolved early on, and out of court; however, as a skilled litigator, Stephanie also enjoys a trip to court when appropriate.  When not working, Stephanie may be found hiking, biking, park exploring and adventuring with her husband and young family. If you spot Stephanie at one of the local craft breweries on a sunny afternoon please don’t hesitate to say hello!
