Aimee Schalles
Co-Founder
Jointly
Aimee Schalles has been working as a lawyer in British Columbia for over ten years. She runs a small law firm in a small city and loves being part of a community, helping people solve everyday problems. She’s seen firsthand the difficulties ordinary people face in accessing reliable legal services, and has watched many friends and clients go through challenging separations that could have gone more smoothly had they documented the financial agreements they had with their ex while everyone was still getting along. That’s why she co-founded JOINTLY.
She’s always been interested in how technology can improve our lives, and hopes Jointly helps people make the relationship agreement they’ve been thinking about but haven’t followed through on, because starting with a lawyer feels too weird and expensive.
Aimee has a young family and enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors.
