Biography
Ksenia Orehova is an associate out of our Port Alberni office, where she brings a thoughtful and client-focused approach to every case. Ksenia was called to the bar in October 2021, after completing her articles with Ecojustice in Vancouver. Ksenia graduated with a Juris Doctor from Dalhousie University in 2020.
Ksenia maintains a varied litigation practice with a focus on wills and estates, family and Aboriginal law. She is dedicated to guiding clients through the complexities of the legal system, providing compassionate and personalized support during emotionally charged situations.
Before focusing on family and estates law, she worked extensively in public interest environmental law with Ecojustice and Aboriginal law with Cascadia Legal LLP. This experience deepened her understanding of the unique legal and cultural issues facing Indigenous communities, including land governance, consultation rights, self-determination and the intersection of environmental protection with Indigenous interests.
This diverse professional foundation gave her a broad perspective and strategic insight, allowing her to advocate for clients in family and estate matters while drawing on nuanced experience in negotiation, litigation, and statutory interpretation. She is committed to clear communication, practical solutions, and achieving just outcomes for every client.
Whether you are seeking guidance in family transitions, need assistance with an estates matter or probate, or require an advocate who understands the intersections of public interest, environmental, and Indigenous law, she is here to help. When Ksenia is out of the office, she enjoys surfing, pottery, cooking and starting yet another house project that takes drastically longer than expected to complete.
